Well, after PTS picked my pocket. I went to search for more water. I found this 31.5 inch hatchery hen. My biggest steelhead on a fly by far.
Type 6 sink tip and a black pick yer pocket was all that was needed.

A chrome hatchery fish from a local river this morning (only 26.5 inches). Black & Blue MOAL on a 10 foot T-14 tip. Great grab for 37 degree water.

January 2nd 32.5" X 17" hatchery hen. This fish represents a lot of "firsts" for me: First steelhead of 2010; first winter steelhead of the season; first winter steelhead on a swung-fly; and first steelhead wearing the used-to-be-cursed G-Loomis hat!
Here is the fish with the rod and fly. Unfortunately the fish is dead here, but I needed this for the fly fishing contest.

Reason: Needed to show rod and fly for contest.

Here is a fish from today - a very pretty wild hen heading back to the ocean. She was thin, but a conservative 32".

The Winter Competition is over and I will be contacting the winners and awarding the prizes.
