Local Flavor: Gerttrude the Steelhead Slayer!

I had the opportunity to talk to a local steelhead guide on Tuesday, and the topic of Musky on the tribs came up. He related a story of watching a near 50" musky slaying skipper steelhead on the lower reacehs of one of our rivers. So basically every spring some fat slob of a ski is sucking down twenty inch trout like potato chips. She is (And it is a her no doubt about it) is that corpulent woman slaying the local buffet in her moo moo, probably goes by the name Gertrude. Shes sitting in some abyss sized hole filleting trout by the pound as they ascend the stream. The whole time this is going on.....she never loses that grin that is so full of razors and malice.

Gotta come up with a juvy steelhead pattern!!!

I think a float is in order.
