		<description><![CDATA[On January 4, 2009, I lost my best hunting and fishing partner as well as my mentor my Dad, David B. Smith. This loss has made the rivers seem a little deeper, the water a little faster and the drifts a little shorter. While I will never forget, what this great man taught me throughout my life and the times we shared, I cannot help to feel just a little bit more alone. While he lived to be 80 years old, it seems like only yesterday that he was showing me how to tie a hook to my line so it would not break off. At times, he would work three jobs to keep us feed and clothed, yet he still made time to take us hunting and fishing and teach me the beauty of the great out doors. We will all miss him being there for us but we will carry him in our hearts as we continue our journey through life. For those of you he did not know Dave Smith we are Sorry. For those of you who knew Dave you know what type of a special man he was. Dave was our father a great husband, a friend a mentor he was our HERO!! Dave believed in family first and lived his life for his family; he never knew a stranger, and was the first to help anyone out if he could. While we were growing up we never had much money, however we believe that....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most important things a steelhead angler needs to learn is the run timing of the rivers they fish. Some good ways to do this is watching for other anglers, contacting local hatcheries for return information. You can also read fishing articles, and check several Websites for updated information on Steelhead returns. In addition, successful steelhead angling depends primarily on river levels or flow rates. This usually affects water clarity, and the water temperature. Which play a major part in the steelheads activities. You can find this information on the USGS website for almost all rivers and this information is kept current as to flows and anticipated flows. If you head out after a heavy rain, with a few exceptions you will be wasting your time. Steelhead can be caught in muddy water but the fishing is going to be tough. Clear water is good, green or slightly colored water is even better, so call someone if you can and find out how the rivers and fishing are. Most of your locale tackle shops will be able to provide you some information. Over the years I have learned that line size, hook size and weight affect the drift angle and your presentation of the bait. This plays a big role in increasing the percentage of strikes. You could write a book about each one of these items. A general rule to remember is to decrease the size of each of the above-mentioned items. If you use this rule,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rainbow trout and the steelhead are the same species of fish; the difference between the two names is the two distinct lives that they live. The name rainbow trout is used for the rainbow trout that does not leave the stream to go to the ocean. They spend their entire life in the lakes, rivers and stream. The name steelhead is for the rainbow trout which migrates to the ocean where it spend most of its adult life before return to the same steam in which they were raised making them an anadromous rainbow or more commonly called a steelhead. Anadromous steelhead and resident rainbow trout come from the same evolutionary lines. There is a close genetic and biological relationship between these two forms. The anadromous form &#8220;Steelhead&#8221; can convert to resident populations &#8220;Rainbow Trout&#8221; when drought events or damming of rivers blocks their access to the ocean. And the same is true of the resident rainbow trout population which can become anadromous if they should find access to the ocean. It is common to have both life history patterns occurring in the same stream. It is possible for, resident and anadromous parents to produce offspring of both varieties. While know one knows for sure it is widely speculated that there is a food related trigger which will determines whether a particular fish emigrates to the ocean or remains in the stream. Some who have studied this believe that if there is abundant food in the stream and a....]]></description>
