Title: Vedder January 27 2008
Post by: armytruck on January 27, 2008, 07:46:22 PM

My partner fishonsteelheader and I hit the lower canal today on the fly to no avail  :P . Froze up then warmed up and decided to move up river , way up  8) , what a difference in temps. It was alot warmer up river , I don't know why  ??? Anyway we decided to hit all the pocket water down from the upper . Then after hitting a few dozen pockets and a mile or so down river fishonsteelheader shaking in his boots smacked into a nice wild doe around 12 , 13 lbs , give or take an once . I think if he can work the bugs out of his PC he might even post the pic . Or I will for him .  ;D

Nice fish.
Not sure how good of an idea it is to tail it with a glove on is though.

Actually the glove he is using is a Rapala Fillet Glove. On the packaging for that glove it claims that it is safe for tailing fish. Its not a standard fleece or wool glove, once it is wet it wouldn't take any slime off the fish. You just have to make sure to get it wet before using it.

Nice fish, nice pic, bad glove LOL a glove is not good at all for a fish that returns to spawn multiple times. It removes the protective slime from the fish which then causes infection and eventually death. When landing fish that I plan on releasing I try not to remove the fish from the water unless for a quick photo like you did. Not ragging or bashing just trying to get some helpful info out there.

u actually catch fish?
