Ziggin' and Zaggin'

You know its raining when that wet bag of a hood just has to come off your head... its worse than being soaked.  We are wading deep into winter steelhead season.  The rivers are high.  Steelhead are streaking comets.  We have been doing out best to soak our flies in the traveling lanes... you can barely call them holding lies.  Most of the time we are zigging and the fish are zagging.  You have to get lucky and zig when a fish zigs.  Can you dig it?

Picture perfect winter steelheading.
