Well, it’s winter and that means those of us in the masochistic, semi-antisocial, diabolically obsessed society of incurable lunatics (also known as “steelheaders”) are going to be our most unproductive selves in terms of real world activities. If you love a steelheader, it’s best to set him or her free for the next couple months — don’t try to intervene — it will only exacerbate the situation.
Now, in case you’re one of the aforementioned inflicted souls and you happen to be stuck in your office cubicle, 100 miles from the nearest steelhead, take a look at the following photos. Like therapy, they may just help you to get through the days until you next set foot in green water…or, come to think of it…they may cause you to do a swan dive out the window. Well, in any case, read on with caution!

Gill McKean
That’s a fact! For those of you who don’t know Gill, he operates West Coast Fishing in Terrace, B.C. — the Motherland of Giant steelies. Runs a nice operation in paradise!
Keep these photo essays coming. They’re great.
JD, I want to thank you, Iwas able to fish with Mike from Redwood Coast Fishing Friday. He’s even better than you said. We only caught one eight lbs. but he worked really hard for us and gave it his all. Top notch guide and I’ll recomend him in the future!
Thanks again, Ron Wagle
Hey Ron, I’m glad you had a good time. Yea, Mike is a really good dude and excellent fisherman.
Thanks J.D.. I cancelled my Monday appointment with my Therapist.
Glad I could help out, Jim!
