Photo above is of a boy's first Steelhead caught with Dad. One of his fish hooked while talking to Mom on the cell-phone. This young man hooked 5 fish and landed 4 with out any help from guide or Dad. Both fish are hatchery fish brought home to show Mom. Family trips are welcome; I have several associates that are more than happy to take additional people to keep a group together. The Russian River is known world wide for its Steelhead action. Nowhere is California is there a river close to urban communities and the big city as the Russian. Truly great fishing experience that is often overlooked because of its central location in the state.
