Well my friend called me last night and said his dad could take us out today. So I get all my stuff ready for the morning. The day gets off to a bad start a because I slept through my alarm ::) :-\ Oh well. We get to our spot just after 7 to find no one else there :) We work our way do the runs along the stretch of river we were fishing with no bites. I looked at the other guys gear and we were all fishing the same thing ::) ;D So I decide to change up and put on a nice juicy shrimp. I work my way through a run. I let it drift to the tailout and start to reel in and BAM!! ;D I yell fish on to my friends and they scramble down to help after about a 5 minute battle I bring the beauty to shore. Its a big wild male. I snap a few pics and release the big buck with a huge smile. We fished another run and my buddies dad got a 10 pound wild ( dont have the pics) The rest of the day it rained a lot but no more fish. Here is a couple pics of my wild buck ;D ;D ;D

Way to go. Nice fish. Looks like there are some bigger fish moving in. Saw a few yesterday that where released and only saw a couple of smaller hatchery bonked. Hope to get out again during the week. How was the water from all the rain.

I hate repeating past mistakes. I fished and walked downstream for a couple hours and on the way back, I had on a little orange wool. I was not optimistic and just cast and cast and had it on too long. At the last run before my car, I tried this slow moving water. First cast into that area, the float is buried and the fish starts to take line. It felt strong. It comes to the surface and trashes. It is big and chrome. I reeled down and set the hook and the leader breaks. I have to change my leader. I have to change my leader........ :'(

Hooked, your fish is smiling for the camera!
Nice!
:D

Nicole- you are really observant. That fish is actually smiling!!!!
My kids and wife had a real good laugh.... :D

Norm- I made those mistakes years ago when I first started fishing steelhead. I made it a point to check my leader every few casts. I've seen so many steelhead break off because of this mistake. Its tough enough to hook one and when you do, you do not want to see it break off.

Nice fish hookset, I saw you guys around 1:00pm above allison. I was fishing downstream from your friends dad for a while. The water was great today. I only had three hrs to fish but I thought for sure I would get one today..I was always expecting the float to go under but it was not to be.
