mark o'meara likes the long rod

[Ed I]

From an interview with Fly Rod & Reel, " Well a couple of years back, I was steelhead fishing out on the Deschutes. I fished hard with a guide for two days, but came up completely empty-handed. I went out on the last day on my own without a boat and fished from the road. That day I caught six steelhead! In the lodge that night, I was shaking. It was such an exciting feeling, like I'd shot a 59 or had won a major tournament."

He fishes with a Spey rod.
