Default Some More Steelhead [pics]

Well, this was my last morning out for a while. No fish on the gravel, so many guys were upset.I consider myself a "hole fisherman". I picked the right hole and had the best hour of fishing ever. This is my last time out until next Tuesday [:@].

Ended 4 for 5 in an hour. 2 Beauty bucks and 2 tight skien hens.

Sorry about the pictures, didn't have a partner to take my picture!



First henof the morning on a yellow jig with wax worm, 3rd cast.


First buck the following cast. 12+ pound fish.




Another dandy buck. Pink spawn bag.


Last Chrome Hen. All fresh fish today.

Thank-you! Steelhead do travel back to their home body of water. Thus, they do not die when they are done spawning.

I use two different custom made Steelhead rods. One is 11.5 feet and the other is 10 feet.

Main line ranges from 8, 10, or 12 pound monofilament.

Leader is either 4 or 6 pound fluorocarbon, pending on water clarity.
