Rob breaks down the differences from salmon season to steelhead season, observations on crowds, techniques seen on the river, and where he found fish. Sometimes the first cast is the best one. Its like going to the same sports venue but watching a different sport. The podcast ends with Rob's theory of steelhead being the cuckoo of the fish world.

This episode is all about how fish see. Rob has covered other aspects of fish sensory organs and this one focuses (no pun intended) on the eyes. Anglers have debated what color fly or lure to use since fishing began. Modern science allows us to get a better perspective of how fish see based on what they eat, where they feed, how they communicate, and where they live. This episode is for all anglers.
