Like the addiction one suffers from Atlantic Salmon fishing, there develops the need to repeat that adrenaline driven frenzy when a Steelhead takes the fly. Steelhead fill in that part of the year when alot of us are watching reruns of fly fishing shows or getting our fix from watching nymphing techniqes on tapes we bought or rented from places we can't remember. One can go to Fla. to fish, wich I love to do. The alternative to the above is to travel a few hours to NY for Steelhead, Brown Trout,Salmon and stories you can tell without the need to elaborate. Jeremy and I have had a great week of fishing in numerous rivers with none of the crowding you hear about, without to much further pontification the picture is the largest Steelhead I have ever caught and I still feel the juice hours later. Where will you be fishing in January? I know where I'll be, just look at the fish from this weeks posts and sell the old

vhf tapes and feel the pull of really big fish.

nice fish greg. I agree with Marshall, you do look like the cover of Orvis catalog. Have you ever considered modeling as a career.
The articles and photos this week sure have been proof that you and Jeremy found some great fishing in less then ideal conditions. Good for you.

Greg, it was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you this week, I'm sure it will not be the last times our paths cross. Congrats on all the world class fish you brought to hand!

"A career in modeling" ---- Greg, I think pat is on to something. Maybe you should consider modeling. With that thin physique and captivating smile - I am sure you could really do well modeling men's swim wear and stuff like that. I am sure if you got a portfolio together all of the big names in mens wear would be fighting to scoop you up. I can see the billboard now in Manhatten with you on it in one of those little french bathing suits. Yup - that is your calling - Greg B Super Model. ... Go for it.
