Fished with my oldest today....his one and only August steelhead appearance of 2011....and he didn't dissapoint!!! His steelhead streak for the year is a fish every month dating back to Jan.(actually back to December!). Eight months in a row! Sept. is the bowhunting month but he is feeling the pressure now....he can hit for the cycle and he can catch a steelhead every month in a calendar year! :lol: I told him that he's screwed!!! Got to fish in sept. now! 
He wound up going 2 for 4 today, released a nice nate early and punched a nice cookie cutter hatchery later. He also lost a nice bright fish that he hooked on a double fly set up on a fly that he picked out of my box.....well that particular fly had set around in my box all winter, apperently.....the fly had become a bit rusty and he broke the steelie off at the bend of the hook! :shock: I guess that'll teach him to steal tackle out of my box !Broke right at the bend of the hook! OH MAN!!! 
David with a nice looking hatchery cookie ctter!
I fished hard and finally hooked a nice steelhead around 11:30......My only steelhead bite of the day!
