The Fight! The Fish! The Release!

By Shane Ito & Rodney Hsu, published in April 2005

This month's visual feature delivers two sets of photographic sequence of fighting the magnificent winter steelhead!

Set one features Shane Ito battling with his first ever fly-caught silver bullet. This fish fell for a large purple leech in three feet of water. We managed to capture these images after sprinting over 100 meters to where he was standing. After a dozen or so high leaps, Carlo gently tailed this beautiful chrome buck as it approached the shallows.

Set two features a steelhead that couldn't resist Rodney's pink worm. The float was buried by this doe in a fairly shallow tailout after several drifts. After multiple long runs and a few splashes, it too was gently slid into the shallows for a quick photo before releasing.
