		<title>Steelheading with a 10 Month Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Small tributaries are clear and fishing well for fresh steelhead.  The increased water level this past week brought in fresh chrome and plenty of angling opportunities.  I&#8217;ve been so busy working, coaching and making final preparations for Angler&#8217;s Workshop that there&#8217;s been scarce time to chase these aquatic silver bullets.  To further frustration, my friends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Early Spring Steelhead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The combination of increased sunlight, warmer temperatures and melting snow pushed water into our Lake Ontario Tributaries.  If you haven&#8217;t yet heard, steelhead fishing improved the past two weeks.  We could still use a soaking dose of rain, but fish are being caught in Eighteen Mile, Oak Orchard, Genesee, Sandy, Irondequoit, Mill Creek, Salmon Creek, Maxwell, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hope Springs Eternal on Oak Orchard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The bluebird sky and temperature in the upper thirties convinced me to leave work early today for Oak Orchard River.  A friend of mine (Norm) was already fishing the river and he invited me to join him prospecting a popular run.  He was chucking a large chartreuse pattern to dredge up steelhead.  I opted to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gulf Coast Chill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During winter break a friend graciously offered his town home in Dauphin Island, Alabama.  My wife and I love to travel and we figured that our nine month old son didn&#8217;t have much say in the matter.  What&#8217;s a twenty one hour drive, when you want to get out of the cold and snow?  Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prospecting for Steelhead on Irondequoit Creek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d heard two very favorable reports recently on cooperative steelhead on Oak Orchard River.  If it weren&#8217;t a longer drive, I certainly  would prefer to fish there.  Oak Orchard and the Salmon River continue to be the most consistent steelhead waters in NYS this time of year.  It&#8217;s a personal angling irony that these two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Streamer Tying Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living in Upstate NY these past two weeks, we were blessed with unseasonably pleasant weather.  This mid-winter temperature break afforded  decent winter angling conditions.  Now that colder weather has returned and there is snow on tap, it&#8217;s nice to enjoy quality fly tying time.
The past year, I started to heighten my tying and fishing of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Steelhead on the Salmon River</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The pleasant break in wintry weather motivated me to make the drive and fish the Salmon River for steelhead.  I had the day off and liked the forecast of mid-thirties for Pulaski.   I convinced Will F to join me and we splurged, bringing along  local guide Jay Peck http://www.jaypeckguides.com/main/.   Jay recently fished the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mid-Winter Thaw on Oak Orchard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The gentle warming trend of upper thirties convinced me to leave the fly tying bench and head out to Oak Orchard River.  It was a pleasant, mostly sunny afternoon and no gloves were needed during fishing.  It&#8217;s always a winter treat to fish without gloves, as well as not worry about iced guides.  There were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ice Shelf Steelhead in the Bleak Midwinter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago. 

These hauntingly beautiful Christmas lyrics from English Poet Christina Rossetti (1872) were on my mind as I approached an icy stretch of creek in search of late holdover browns and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let it Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We awoke this morning to fresh blanket of snow.  The forecast predicts more snow on tap.  Between the snowfall, rain during the day, and predicted snow, our creeks should receive a nice boost of water.  Many tributaries will be high and muddy over the next few days. When they settle, I predict there will be [...]]]></description>
