I’ve spent a lot of my life on the river, trying to catch fish. Honestly, there have been plenty of days I don’t succeed. Some days are worse than others. When the scenery is beautiful and I get skunked (don’t catch any fish) after a full day of trying different approaches, locations, and tactics—those days aren’t so bad. But the 20-degree days spent chasing steelhead trout in icy water are painful.
