Who would of thunk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Congrats Brian! Of all the fishing I do, I have to say that steelheading in tribs is the most satisfactory. A beauty fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sweet fishy Brian Yesterday I was doing some steelhead sampling in your neck of the woods. I have to admit that even those small bows do fight well for their size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernpike56 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 sweet fish man! you were using pink berkely worms? I never knew you could catch a steelhead with them! Do you just put them on a plain hook under a bobber? I have yet to catch a big steelhead like that guy but really want to get a few this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Brian, gotta work on that gill hold I realize they are slippery buggers, get yourself a cotton glove or similar. Makes it a lot easier to hold on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 You can't help it if they head to a log jam, but I was once told if you aren't re-tying because of snags drifting in waters like that, you aren't doing it right lol. I look forward to more steelhead reports from you Brian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
