I spent my holiday in a most remarkable place. I drove through miles of the Stanislaus National Forest devastated by the Rim Fire, the third largest wildfire in California history.

Heavy rains in December brought anticipation for early steelhead and, as some have shown, the numbers look low to start. It came as a surprise that steelhead were not in every pool after such a strong start to winter and rivers were in good condition for the new year.

When was the last time you tried something new for the first time? Has it been a day, a week, a year or even longer? If you can’t remember, it’s likely been too long.
