Last week with the tad of rain and the big flows from the Snake, I took a shot at an early chance to get after the steelies with a fly.  Yesterday I fished in a nugget run I have for the early season. On the back side in the shade a few miles above Boggans, I hit a nice 28" wild hen on one of Hyatt's steelhead muddlers. The first swing gave a big tug and splash, but a miss. Not the second time. Swing, hang, and BANG! Fish on. She ran down in the fast water to the slower tailout water where I quickly forced her to the bank and removed the steel from the steel. Looks like a start to a great season. All my Oct dates are full, but I do have great Nov dates open. Please check my calendar page for open dates or give me a call.   See you on the river....rick
