Massive, Powerful Fish Shatter Rods on the Trinity River!

http://www.adventuresinflyfishing.com/trinity.htm:

All of these fish are full of fight; hook into one and you'll be the one that's really hooked! They are the true acrobats of the freshwater world, frequently jumping and thrashing about on the surface of the water in between reel-blazing runs and powerful rod-throbbing head shakes.

Traditionally, steelhead have been known as 'the fish of a thousand casts.' Indeed, in most watersheds that hold these sea-going rainbows, hooking a couple of fish in a week of hard fishing (often in inclement weather) is considered a good week. We're fortunate, however, to have the Trinity River, where our guides average 4-8 hookups a day and double-digit days even occur from time to time. This is some of the most consistent steelhead fishing anywhere. "

===================

As a Salmon, Trout and Steelhead fisherman myself I could only imagine what it's like catching one of these monsters on fly gear.

I've never broke a rod before but I'm curious to hear if you have.

There must be some monsters in the Trinity!
