Congratulations!

Our congratulations to Joe Compton on his biggest steelhead to date. A beautiful 31” fish caught somewhere between Ohio and Pennsylvania (he's not saying more than that!).

 

RIO's New Skagit Shooting Heads

And to round out winter fishing this week we have RIO's new Skagit Shooting Heads. It's always a pleasure to listen to Simon talk about spey casting. He and his team at RIO never stop thinking of ways to improve their products and they've done it again. If winter steelhead is your game, with new technology, taper design, and color coding it's easier than ever to keep yourself organized. Watch the video. Visit the RIO web site for more information.

Steelhead tactics vary greatly from the west coast to the Erie tributaries with season, water levels, and the size and condition of the streams which all factor in determining what tackle and methods we use. So, needless to say there is often confusion around steelhead rods and lines and the more we understand the options, the better the decisions we can make. If Skagit lines are in your arsenel of flylines, you'll like the new shooting heads. RIO has been the leader in offering steelhead anglers the tackle they need for all situations.

Your Multi-Spey Rod Strategy

And while we’re on the subject of steelhead, here’s an interesting story on spey rods. It’s from Sage so it’s focused on the northwest. We would love to find a story on the same subject focused on the Erie Tributaries. Until then, we hope you enjoy this from Jon Hazlett.
