Steelhead DO exist?!

Up till Saturday, I had been quite certain from my own experience that steelhead are nothing more than imaginary critters made up in the minds of exhuberant, and very creative, fishermen. I mean, really, a trout that goes to the ocean and back? That’s really creative, is it not? So, try to imagine my dissapointment when my own brother – flesh and blood – calls me up on Saturday with tales of having caught one of these mythical beasts – and on a fly no less! Now he’s taking creative to the next step. Here’s some pictures he’s posted on his blog – and a link to his side of the story if you’d like.
