Chasing Chrome Series - Part 5

I have  guided and fished Great Lakes summer steelhead now for almost 36 years. Between my brief hotel career stints on the West Coast and Indiana, I have written and explored more about our Great Lakes Summer Skamania steelhead than perhaps no one else. Looking for answers and the history of Washington State’s iconic Washougal River’s Skamania strain fish’s introduction into Lake Michigan by Indiana, brought me to one of the finest books ever written on those fish: Dry Line Steelhead by Bill McMillan. Join me and my guest John: Bill’s  son, as we discuss John’s epic steelhead conservation work and fighting for the plight of the most beautiful migratory salmonid fish that swims- Washington State’s Washougal steelhead. John is President of the West Coast based Conservation Angler group. We discuss his dad and the fishing legacy of dry line steelheading today- don’t miss this one!
