Congratulation Bigfisher, you finally did it. Just keep on trying & it finally pay off. Must be a thrill to hook and land your first steelhead.
What a nice day, so I sneaked out for an afternoon fishing. Picked up my friend who lives by the river, and we spent about 2 hours in Peach section to no avail. Then I motioned to go down to the popular run where I had 3 fish in the last 2 trips. There were quite a crowd at around 3:00pm, around 10 guys in the run. Within 10 casts I had a small fish on, and it was a hatch. Well, my friend was handy and he helped landed the 7lber which was bonked as it was quite late in the day. No other fish were hooked. My lucky day.
Not a really good day considered the water was perfect, higher than before with a nice touch of greenish tea colour, at least 4' visibility. Any morning report will help to clarify if fishing is really slowing down. Tight Line.
