Default Best day ever!! ( sorry no pics)

I just successfully completed my first 4 steelhead day ever. My personal best was two fish a number of times but not 4. Anyway, I got 1 on corky and yarn but after getting snagged and breaking off a number of times I switched to a float and jig. Until today I had never caught a steelie with a jig but my fishless streak with a jig has finally ended. I kept the last one I caught and it just so happened to be the biggest and best of the day. It was a chrome bright hen that was around 12 pounds. :smile:

If I could figure out how to post a picture I would.
