World Fly Fishing Championships medalist and Jack Dennis Sports flyshop manager Jeff Courier says he got a wake-up call while hiking for steelhead in Oregon recently. “‘Last month, for the first time in my life, I was the guy falling behind on a long hike on a fishing trip,’ he said. ‘I was being treated to a prime steelhead location in Oregon with two friends. We had to hike about 3 miles. … I was hot in minutes and slow as a carp milling in the weeds. Worst of all, it definitely cost me time on the water and being the first through some of the best runs.” Wally Zimmer in the Jackson Hole Star Tribune.
