Steelhead 2022 show OFF

[O. mykiss]

Went out today for a last winter trip of the season. Had a great day going 3/5 before 9 am. Kept two colored up bucks knowing tagging fish this time of year is a gamble. One cut good, one left a lot to be desired. Maybe I’ll have another “last trip of the season.”

Hard to quit after a day like that.

It was by-catch and the saddest looking steelhead I've probably ever caught but what the heck, I'll post it up here. The rod gave a quick little twitch that I thought looked like a fish but then just stopped moving like a snag. As I reeled it in I thought for sure I was just snagged on a branch because it literally gave me no fight.

Nice little winter slab caught back in February. I was fishing a sweet pink cherry BnR soft bead. That was literally fist cast into the hole and I landed that beauty out on the Wilson.

Nice work. That's a beautiful fish.

welp , i hooked onto a really nice summer today in eugene on a spoon and it bent my hook out. Jumped a couple times got a nice look at it. Good sign for this summer, in the future i will always change my hooks out to siwashes now lol. Guess it was fun to shake hands with one this early in season

Summer steelhead fishing has been pretty solid so far this season. Ive hooked onto 7 fish in the last month. This is the one i caught last night. 6.5 lbs 27 inches
