Trust me, I'm as surprised as anyone given the current date...but was bored today, so figured I'd get some practice in so I can blow the doors off this winter. Who knew I'd kick into high gear right off the line. Let's hope I don't flame out early, eh?

It looks like a steelhead jack to me...Maybe a 20" long fish?

Smolt, he was using one of those 1/1000th spoons. Brand new this year! Tough to get in the zone but deadly! I think that's sand its laying on. :lol:
(Nice fish btw!)

Man, so many second guesses...and 20"? Really?
The fish measures 27". Every single summer I've ever caught in this system has a right max clip; this fish does not. Contrary to the remark, it is not skinny, but has a plump, firm belly and is bright chrome. Based on the missing max clip, the fact it was caught low and being November, I would surmise a slightly early winter rather than a very late arriving summer. I also highly doubt it is a down river fish based on the belly, milt content, color, fin coloration/condition and the meat cut orangish pink. But hey, you guys are the internet photo experts, so somebody state what it is and we'll take that as the final word.
Maybe next time I'll just leave summer/winter out and say steelhead...but I'll still probably get some wiseass telling me it's a coho?

On that note, I'm positive that's a crappie. Didn't know they have em in the clack. Must have been fishing the lagoon?

Hey, just raising a question. I grew up on the Clack and caught several in November that I found out at a later time were summers. Fooled me and most anglers. The thing that stuck out on this was the fins ( not white )unlike your post the other day.
Not calling you a liar. Good fish reguardless

I'm sorry I offended you with my guessing it as a jack steelhead. There is nothing wrong with jack steelhead, they play in important role in survival of the species. It is obviously not a down river fish, nor was the prior one. Size is hard to gauge in pictures like that, my apologies with your next fish I will leave my guess as to the size out of it.

You need to add a NSWS warning to your pictures (Not Safe Without Shades). Dang, that thing is bright. Great job.

I do believe there is such a thing. It's quite complicated and wish I knew more about it.
