You’ve probably heard the adage—fish the
hang-down. That’s not always easy when you
know that fish are piled up in the middle of
a run and you just want to hit the sexy water
with your next long cast. But, if you do just
that—lift and cast too soon—the gurus will
say you’re making a mistake. That’s because
steelhead often follow a fly all the way to the
bank before taking. Marty Sheppard shot this
beautiful image, of his wife Mia, fishing the
hang down on Washington’s Sol Duc River.
