Default First "Un-guided" Steelhead w/Pic

I finally landed my first "un-guided" steelhead yesterday on Eagle Creek. Used a red and white First Cast jig with a pink worm. The fish was a 5lb hen holding on the far side of large boulder. After two years and approximately 10 trips I finally scored. Hope #2 doesn't take that long!



OK, so it ain't the biggest fish you've seen on iFish. That's fine, I still love it.

Way to go, Hare!

If you send me the picture, it's rather slow here... I can help you!

I started fishing for the metal heads in November 1986. I didn't get my first steelie until November 1987. Now you are a seasoned veteran steelheader! The learning curve is over, and you'll be slammin' 'em now, no doubt!

Congrats! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
