1/15/2013 4:00:00 PMBR, your showing serious perseverance when chasing the mighty Steel. For that reason alone, I would have expected your two star rating to be higher. I almost did not read your report due to the low rating. Thought two stars on a Steelhead fishing day, would be great scenery, and a caught trout, cutty, whitefish, or sucker!
But you lands one! I think the color of a 3 star rating, turns to color green on the report main page. For that reason alone, 3 is minimum..........?
Awesome catch. Keep an eye out for that "good luck charm" next time out.......sloshing for steel.

1/15/2013 4:53:00 PMI got to view BentRod beaching yet another steelhead today. I'm going to have to start charging him a fee for showing up. Every time I catch him on the river, his rod is bent over and he is battling a steelhead. Great Job and congratulations, the perseverance pays off.

1/15/2013 4:59:00 PMThanks Real. Really great seeing you out there today. Moto, you might be right, but if you look at the rating description, if I remember right, a two star is "catch some fish, but really had to work at it". Well, I caught one fish and I really had to work at it. For me a three star would be landing one and also maybe having a take down or two. Limiting would count as a four star and limiting and having other take downs or getting a personal best would bump it up to five star. I'd say today was a solid two-star, but was close to three in my book as I did see others caught around me. But, I only had the one takedown, so for me I'll rate it a two. Everyone has their own criteria. I'm trying to keep it related to the fish.....although anytime I catch a fish I do consider it a great day! Tight lines.

1/17/2013 12:11:00 PMYour rating jived with the site perimeters. I was placing Steelhead on a pedestal over other fish species. Due to there elusive nature, and very often difficult to catch. Not to mention flow inconsistencies of rivers, and enduring the Winter weather conditions. I was not knocking your rating, as much as adding a excitement and accomplishment point....or.......two.........LOL!
Hope this makes sense.
