What's the old adage ?
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours.
Sam has been assigned to working out of the Nehalem River hatchery in northwest Oregon.
He is tagging returning winter steelheads with radio tags and then chasing them up-river
with directional a radio receiver to monitor their travel rates and distribution.
For a fishing addict, bushwhacking into remote holding places
on a "wild" river is close enough to being his perfect job.
