Took some advice from a buddy and played hooky to ignore home projects this morning. He was right that I needed to recharge my batteries.
No fish were hooked or seen, but there was one spot that really set off my summer-steel spidey sense like it hasn't in ages.
30 years ago there would've been a half dozen gleaming bright torpedoes tucked into this run behind a downed tree. Got a good look on the way out in full sun and zero steelhead. Just wrong I tell ya!
Picked up some trash, including a fully inflated kids inner tube.
I did catch a couple bird pics. Some cedar waxwings on a logjam and an eagle that took off after munching on a dead sucker.
Probably my one and only summer steelhead trip. River still semi fresh from last week's rain but definitely on low side and dropping.
Good to get out for a bit. Now back to work.
