[#0000FF]Lovely. Brings back good memories. Used to fish the Smith and Klamath a lot with the late Al Kutzkey. Gary Lindstrom...the guy with me in the attached pic...took over Al's guide business and eventually moved it to Soldotna, Alaska. He was "Big Dog". Unfortunately he died fairly quickly after being diagnosed with melanoma on his ears.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Got my biggest steelhead (18#) and biggest salmon (52#) on flies in the Smith. Beautiful country, beautiful redwoods and beautiful fish. Tore me up when the loggers clearcut all the trees on many of the hillsides visible from the river.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Good luck on your drift trip. Should be some big winter fish waiting for you. Hope the water levels are good and the water clear.[/#0000FF]
