Pro Guide Mike launched out of Hood River today, heading for Drano Lake with one goal in mind—put some chrome in the fish bag. With steelhead numbers running high and the retention season open, the timing couldn’t have been better.

Mike delivered for the crew, finding the fish and making the most of the hot bite. By the end of the day, the smiles were as bright as the chrome in the cooler—a perfect summer steelhead trip on the Columbia.
