Went up to the Kalama for some steelhead action. and hooked into my first winter fish.
coming to a close on my first year fishing for steelhead and it looks like I finally have it down (or at least I found some water I know how to fish)
I know I need to put more time in on the Sandy and Clac, but its hard to pass up a river that I rarely get skunked on.
last few weeks the river has been pretty washed out,
Yesterday it was low, clear and really cold... almost too low, but we decided to fish.
hooked into 4 fish, only brought two to the bank.
pic isn't very good as we were losing light pretty quickly and my cell phone camera sucks.
big guys was almost 36 inches and the smaller one was 29
smaller fish was the brightest Steelhead I have ever seen.
even the tail fin had chrome on it, it was almost bluish purple when the light hit it.
sadly it came to the shore without a fight.
Bigger fish was not as easy to bank, fish put up the best fight I have had yet.
we were floating everything, but one came in on a pink work tail on a white jig head and the other on a black and red micro jig.
