Valentine's Chrome Home

Ice storms last two days and power outages, then back to arctic air/wind this weekend won't help our cause this week!... But, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and is always the turning point/flip the switch for fresh steelhead from winter to spring.For all those lazy steelhead ( 75% of them) that never ran the rivers last fall beacuse of the arctic switch from a hot fall to brutal winter in November, and caused them to chow down on all those bait fish piles the now dead kings left behind, its "time for mykiss to phone home"- and get back upstream. Their hormones are exploding at this point, their pineal gland clocks picking up those extra minutes of daylight hours, and a full moon coming shortly- all systems go for "chrome home!
