With the water being real low and super clear, and a smaller size trib, the fight will be twice as much. Everytime I got it near shore it took off in a hurry, and this went on like 6 times. It got frustrating, but finally I got my pic, and he swam off to fight another day

Beautiful fish! Congrats on the great day, and its even better when you dont have to fish shoulder to shoulder. I am loving college life with the flexible schedule to get out steelheading, but I know soon enough it will all come to an end

PINK!!!! ....Well only when it comes to steelhead fishing. Chrome is sharp, but catching a trout with some pretty colours on it is always a nice change. Got this big guy the other day, and he sure put up quite the battle, almost 15 minutes I'd say. Sure made my day. We definietly could use some rain though!!!

+1 This FGP is on all the forums either whining or complaining about steelhead fishing. No one said it was easy. Go out everyday you can. Experience will be your biggest help. Getting tips on here from all these generous people is great, but now go put them to use. Talk to fisherman as well, it also helps a lot. My very first year last year, I caught two on my first trip, then didnt catch anymore in the next 25 trips maybe. It happens to all of us. But this year I have landed 10 already, in the few times I have been out.
