I consider Felton to be a complete steelhead fisherman. He pursues them throughout the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, fishes a single-handed rod and nymphs with as much pleasure as a swung fly with a spey rod, and is passionate about the importance of wild fish. A supporter of several conservation organizations, Felton found his way west to attend the Native Fish Society’s benefit dinner and, with his wife Karen, decided to include a float down the upper Rogue as part of the trip. Karen’s fly fishing experience consisted of pitching dries to Snake River Cutthroat and from her first cast with a weighted fly knew she was a long way from Jackson. Always the good sport, she put up with the stories, landed her first steelhead, and hinted that hatchery fish are better table fare than breeding stock. Hats off to you, Karen.
