Steelhead in Arduous Conditions

The Chief's first steelie on 20Mile this year.

Bunyan and the Chief took a couple of days and enjoyed some fishin, fellowship and the Chief's Hard Cider. The waters of 20Mile were low and clear. Nobody was catchin fish except the Pro Staffers and that's the square truth. The Fish Motel at Poor Richard's was nearly empty. The Flatlanders were swooshin wadin chasin all the fish to the boys. The boys then just stealthfully dead drifted some tiny contraptions their way then politely announced, "Fish on!"

"Fish on!"

Happy Bunyan will eat good tomorrow.

Seems the Bunyan forevermore has problems starting his ungodly F-150, you know, the one that smells like roadkill. Seems the starter was fried this time. Try stuffin the Bunyan and all his gear into a Camry. It wasn't pretty.


Before: Steelhead


After: Steelhead

The Chief's recipe for smoked steelhead and steelhead caviar will appear in the RBF Pro Staff Cookbook: Recipes for a Good Day.

Dear El Chiefo,

Will Bowhunter's recipe for Swingin' Beef (aka Montana Tendergroin) be in the new cookbook?

I heard he really "had a ball" working on that one while visiting Red Lodge, Montana a couple of years back.

Seems to me like that starter went during the BWO summit in the spring.
But time he got a new ride.

Nice looking job on that smoked steelie...

That recipe better be in the cookbook.
Working on the 3 alarm chilli recipe for this weekend
