First one...This year (steelhead)

[spinnerdoc]

Got some encouragement to try this system out and so i did. I tried different flies, roe...pink worm took her

 

 

It was my first time in this area and didn't quite know what to expect. I was happy 1 for 1 not much but i didn't go home empty handed, plus i got to break in the rod Properly. Now i know how this rod feels fighting fish.

That's one fine looking catch! I'm hoping for some flame-sided speckles tomorrow.

I rig pink worms many ways. I like to rig them wacky style most of the time. I also like rigging them on Mustad slow death hooks. I've also been known to rig them on a jig hook with a cone head weight pinned to the front of the hook and I also hook them through the nose. I only use the wacky or nose hooking with the smaller 3 inch worms.

No need to apologise either way...nothing wrong with keeping one fish. Unless you are fishing in a catch and release only zone.

Nice bow
