I spent a very enjoyable day fishing with guide Jason Hartwick on the Trinity today.  Jason just got back from a summer of guiding in Alaska and is busy scouting in preparation for guide trips on the Trinity.  We scouted some of our favorite water and tried traditional wet flies, skating dries, and leech patterns.  We didn't see a ton of steelhead, but I was lucky enough to have one come up and eat my skated dry fly!  It was a solid hookup, but the fish threw the fly on the first big jump.  I was fishing Jason's new Sage TCX 6119 "switch" rod.  That rod is sweet.  It's classified as a switch rod but performs more lake a spey rod.  It's a great rod for the Trinity River.
