I caught a Steelhead!! :dance: On the Clack by the DMV. I took several tips from you folks on ifish and wanted to share with everyone. I tried to take a picture of it. Native, I'd say 23-25 inches. I don't really keep em anyway...that fishee will have some more time to grow! It's funny too. I've been trying and trying using all kinds of rigs, and when heading out yesterday morning...I though I should take my fly rod with me...after finding my way down to the river at dawn..grabbed my fly rod and spinning rod. After about 30 casts with no luck on the jig and bobber, I put my fly on...tossed it out about 12 feet in front of me, while walking out a ways in the water...20 seconds...maybe...boom, fish on...got into my backing and I was having a blast, chasing that beauty down the river. After what seemed like an hour, about 10 minutes in reality...I get it to the bank...size it up a bit...see all the fins...get ready to release it and then remember...oh, gotta get a picture...no problem...camera is in my pocket...fish starts kicking again...snap off a picture of my hand holding the rod....and them barbless hooks help out the mighty steelie...gone to swim again with friends. :smile:
