Black Copper Swan (SwittersB)

Of course, having little in the way of redeeming appeal that would be the first thing to pop into your mind. Hmm? This humorous piece over at Blood Knot summarizes that endless banter amongst those that pursue Steelhead…the superiority of swinging the fly vs. the supposed inherent depravity of nymphing for Steelhead. I am posting this for the beginner venturing out into the Winter to fish for Steelhead. It will give you an idea of the lay of the river’s edge and why you may be ignored, cursed or worse (just kind of kidding). Imagine, even the ‘elitist’ have their elites…….. No, just passionate preferences.
