The veteran Steelheaders have a hard time accepting the less
experienced anglers. They remember days of countless fish and little
pressure. Things are different today.  People from all walks of life with
different dispositions will gather on the steelhead rivers. I hope we all
practice a little tolerance and politeness. I know if you meet someone
from the Contented Angler, they will surely share a fly with you or help
you out. That's just the kind of angler that shops here and that's the
only kind of angler we want.

No matter how many fish you catch, it's never a good day when you
become angry. We try to remember to bring all of our equipment for a
successful fishing trip, but we sometimes leave our patience at home.
