Steelhead fly fishing is becoming more and more popular and with good reason. When conditions are ideal a ‘chromer’ will smash a fly and treat fly angler to a treat that is hard to duplicate. When steelhead enter river we are getting them at their biological prime. Loaded with survival instincts that include territorial and sexual aggression, they can rip into your fly and go off on a terror of a run, that will often leave uninitiated limp lined and open mouthed. But angler will be hooked.

In upcoming articles we will delve more deeply into techniques of inducing strikes from this terrific game fish.

Point 3: Time for Riddick to Bowe out

He says he is not doing it for money. He says he has 20 million in bank, 26 cars, and 8 or 9 homes (he can't remember how many). He says he is doing this because he just doesn't know what else to do. Riddick Bowe came back to boxing in October to fight on an Indian reserve. His plans are to fight about 7 or 8 more bums like one that got into ring with him, before trying to step up to top of boxing game that he once held over a decade away. The best thing for Bowe, is that one of those bums gets him to land on his, to put an end to this farce. Riddick Bowe fought on an Indian reserve because no doctor would give him clearance to fight. Muhammed Ali and Senator McCain are trying to set up a legitimate boxing commission for exactly this purpose. To provide both an unbiased rules based on boxing skills and not promoters wallets, and to provide protection to boxers from themselves, or those to seek to profit from them. I am sure that with 20 million dollars, Riddick can find something else to occupy his time. 20 million may seem like a lot of money, but with all luxury this man has bought for himself, he will find that insurance, property taxes, and day to day accessories will eat through his money soon enough. This is about financing his lifestyle, plain and simple. Problem is, he should get back to his roots, and learn how to save his money. Material wealth is not worth dying over, or ending up too punch drunk to enjoy it.
