asdve23rveavwa Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 For my first personal post I thought I would share my girlfriend's steelhead success from two weeks ago. She had fished "bows" with spinners and spoons this year on a few outings...caught her first ever (6lb hen) on a Blue Fox spinner. We were fishing the rivers on this particular weekend, the water was prime and I had gone three for three on some smaller chrome beauties. Having never fished roe before, and, not hitting a thing on lures she was game to try something different. On her third ever, yes third!!!!!!!!!, drift she hooked into a beautiful 26" chrome male steelhead!!!!!! Needless to say she is hooked for life after the ensuing battle!

asdve23rveavwa Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 After 25 years of steelheading I know the thrill never goes away!! Her excitement was awesome to see, and I enjoyed watching/coaching her during that battle more than any of the fish I caught myself that day. Like you said, all it takes is one!!!
