Fighting Big Steelhead - Article by Lucas
Tuesday Jan 26, 2021
Tuesday Jan 26, 2021
There is a difference between a hot 6lb steelhead and a brutal 17lb buck. That much should be obvious, but it really becomes evident when you’re 10 feet above a giant rapid and that massive line-burner you just hooked turns towards it.
Then what do you do?
Some big fish will get ever-so-close, and then decide to turn around and stay in the hole you’re in. Others have every intention of heading down that rapid and saying goodbye to the elevation they’d just gained. At that point, you’d better make a power move.
Either way, you’d better be prepared for that. So let’s talk big steelhead.
One of the things I’ve come to find is, a big steelhead controls the conversation. A smaller, hot steelhead will burn line and give an excellent fight, but the minute you can turn its head you can gain some ground on it. With a big, or even giant steelhead, all it takes is laying into that current and it becomes ultra-hard to make any headway on that fish.
The sheer mass, the massive tail, the violent headshakes - those will keep you up at night.
There is a feeling in the rod when you hook one of those steelhead that goes beyond anything you’ve encountered before.

Tim Boyle Interview - Columbia Sportswear
Sunday Nov 15, 2020
Sunday Nov 15, 2020
Spanning back to 1938, Columbia Sportswear was founded by Paul Lamfrom, the father of Gert Boyle, although it was formerly known as the Rosenfeldt Hat Company, and eventually the Columbia Hat Company. Columbia eventually broke away from hats by designing a Columbia Fishing Vest. Tim Boyle, son of the legendary Neal & Gert Boyle, became a part of the company after Neal's death. The company struggled for a few years, until they partnered with early Nike employees to improve their business and marketing management. From there, the company took off in a major fashion. Manufacturing fishing vests, jackets, shirts and a giant catalog of other products, Columbia has solidified itself as the premier outdoor clothing company.
Tim Boyle is a smart and intuitive businessman, interviewed here by Salmon Trout Steelheader founder Frank Amato. They recount the early days of the company, and Frank remembers meeting Tim's father Near. Columbia Sportswear as a brand is known world-wide, but it started in the city of Portland Oregon, where the headquarters remains to this day.

Salmon carcasses are a nutrient rich fertilizer. Beyond simply the nutrients they bring to the stream itself, they have been found to benefit nearby trees, Eagles, Bears, Insects and many other streamside species.
Salmon, as an ocean-going fish, bring nutrients from the ocean deep into the hills and forests of Coastal areas.
This article talks about the studies that led up to the practice of placing salmon carcasses streamside intentionally, in order to benefit fry, smolt, insects and other wildlife.
This was originally featured in the 1996 Aug/September issues of Salmon Trout Steelheader.

Color & Water | What Fish See Underwater
Friday Oct 09, 2020
Friday Oct 09, 2020
An informative article from 1996 by Dr. Colin Kageyama, an Optometrist, who discusses what happens to colors underwater. Dr. Colin describes the differences between the color red, and flourescent red. As colors fall lower in the water column, there are some things that happen to specific colors, that aren't commonly understood.
These color changes are relative to how close you are to the lure, as well as the color and turbidity of the water itself. This information helps anglers choose what lures to use depending on the conditions and depth of the water.

Wednesday Mar 18, 2020

Too often, anglers are quick to blame a lack of bites on one factor, when it may not have been that factor at all. Weighing these odds against each other must be guarded against the wrong assumptions. This podcast was written, narrated, music recorded and produced by Lucas Holmgren.
