Spent Saturday before the deluge hunting steel and had a few bites before landing this pretty girl. Can confirm that steel is all the way through the lower section up to the Pelton Dam. Only gets better from here on out

hydropsyche said:Nice fin clipped hatchery redside? I got one nyphing yesterday up high. 22" hen sure was bright for a redside missing a fin. They taste great too. I was surprised to find fish that high up this early. I wonder if its gonna be early on the john day after all this rain and cold water. Probably gonna check it out next week.
hydropsyche said:Thanks for the clarification. But i thought there were no steelhead in the great lakes because the only difference between trout and steel were that steel went to the ocean. Touche! I'm just bored at work thanks for the entertainment. Maybe if i catch a b run people will believe its not a trout. Oh yeah i forgot i live in bendifornia, where is the Pacific nw? Is that Idaho or Montana?
FlyBum said:I thought only steelhead came from the Great Lakes??
They both are genetically identical according to biologists...
The original Great Lakes steelhead plants in the 1960s were from the hatchery on Washougal River.FlyBum said:Great Lakes steelhead... Ha ha.... Lake-run Rainbows sounds a lot better!
