With the exception of the Smith River, it is illegal to take any wild steelhead from California’s coastal waters. Long before the California Department of Fish and Game passed the no-kill regulation, many anglers, both fly and conventional had taken it upon themselves to stop killing wild steelhead. Moving towards catch-and-release can often mark a transition in an angler’s approach to the sport and to steelhead in general. In this short clip Lani Waller reflects on shifting emotions during the year he transitioned into a catch-and-release angler.

A heavy rain last night and the promise of seven consecutive days of storms has everyone in California hoping for a Fabulous February. Rivers from the Eel to the Russian took their first big jumps in a long time this past weekend. With ground saturation increasing and the hopes of a few gully washers looming, heavy spikes could provide the water needed for coastal steelhead to reach their spawning grounds just in time.
Fabulous February

During an eerie foggy morning along the southern Oregon coast, Joe Sugura slid his small 6 foot pram into the chilly waters of the Chetco River. The fishing had been memorable during the previous few days and he carried his Nikon camera on board to capture some of the action. As the morning light begin to creep over the coastal mountains Bill Schaadt hooked into a large King Salmon. Joe grabbed his camera and took a classic photo that has come to exemplify Schaadt to many of his closest friends. The photo titled “first light” is the background image for the Rivers of a Lost Coast website.
In the short clip below, Joe explains why he thinks the photo has become so special to so many people.
