HookNrelease Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 been taking my youngest son to the river over the past 6 weeks or so as hes been asking every weekend, seems hes getting the steelhead addiction, last sunday we spent the day walking up and down, between the two of us we manged a few nice fish 20 to 25 inches, late in the day my son nails this beautiful male steelie, 40 inches and in full colour, i think i was smiling as big as he was also, all fish were released to swim and wait for us on another day cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
