Steelhead Odyssey, Episode I

[Editor's Note: This month, three trout guides from Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge have embarked on a steelhead trip through Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. They'll be filing frequent updates on their progress. The anglers—all steelhead novices—are Eric Strader (from Missouri), Robert McCallister (from New Mexico), and Ted Morris (from Pennsylvania).]

Once elk-hunting season is over at Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge, it's time to find the steelhead! Our first stop on the trip is Boise, Idaho, where we met with a few local fishing guides to help us plan our trip to the Olympic Peninsula, as well as a few places to fish along the way. We set up our temporary camp at a friend's house in Boise. We tied flies and met with a few guys who had fished. . .
