finally...a steelhead (EFL)
Sorry I have to brag a little..After numerous attempts to land my first winter steelhead this year....it finally happened.
About my 5th cast, drifting a pink corkie and some eggs that I cured earlier this fall....something felt different [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] so, I set the hook, and sure enough...it was this nice little 6lb hen.
What a blast. The rain finally came, and I decided to weenie out and call it a day. Got to break in my new Abu C4 5601 that santa brought me.....i'm a little worried about the thumbar release on it though, I almost freelspooled on this fish....

Now I gotta better idea of what to feel for while drifting those eggs.....set the hook when something different happens.

Re: finally...a steelhead (EFL)
Good Job MM, It's been better this year than in years past and hopefully you'll hook up quite a few more times. Congrats on the 1st one of the year. SS

Re: finally...a steelhead (EFL)
Way to go Gordo. I haven't been steelhead fishing yet. Dad has me running the excavator on a side job everyday I get off. I told him to go fly a kite on new years though, cause I'm going sturgeon fishing.
By the way did Jeremy call you and give you the good news?
