Wow that last fish must have really liked the smell of your bait LOL

if you look closely...the hook curves into the upper lip...i think a piece of the skein is covering the curve and giving it an optical illusion... i think it's a good hookup.

I wasnt implying it wasnt a good hookup  ::) I have seen flies hooked into the outside tip of the nose on trout, salmon and steelhead. Its going to happen gear fishing as well of course.

I've been out 4 times, landed fish on each of my first three trips.

That fish that was hooked in the nose hammered a giant prawn tail, which either got eaten or fell off the hook during the battle.

Managed to land my first steelhead on Boxing Day in the Chilliwack/Vedder River Derby.  A lovely silver that weighed in at 11.9 lbs.  Will post a picture as soon as I can figure out how to do so...computer challenged.
