SA Evolution Line – perfect for the Spring

If your looking for a Indy/float/bobber line for spring steelhead look no further than the 420 SA Evolution.  One of my personal favorites for big river Indy fishing.  I run mostly 11ft 8wt Switch rods and the line is a dream to handle my float setup.

First Day with Scott Radian 907

Will do a little more talking about the Scott Radian 907 in the future , but just wanted to post a couple quick pics from a personal trout streamer day with Ed McCoy yesterday.  Was my first day with 907 and so glad I bought one, great rod for the Michigan trout scene.  Perfect with my 250 SA sink tip.

Pic of the Day – Oops sorry Mrs Steelhead

Landing a steelhead is one thing, taking a quality picture is another battle within itself.  Mrs Steelhead and Mr. Angler had a little hand to hand wrestling match, with Mrs. Steelhead not getting back into her proper position.  Well the rule in the boat is you get 1 or 2 quick pics and then back she goes.  So this leaves us with today’s picture of the day.
