Personally Iv only gotten into 3 steelheads, and damn did it ever feel good.  ;D This one was my first steelhead I got into ever, in my first steelhead season 2 years ago on the Vedder. Took me well over 50 hours, but then again I was very new to the whole sport of river fishing. It took me many trips after school, and alot of sucking up to my mom to get there :-*. After getting off school I would fish 4-6pm since that was the last remaining day light I was given, and one night just as it was getting dark this 15+ pound wild steelhead took a good bite of my treat.  ;D Now when I look back at how I caught that fish it was complete beginners luck, 15 pound leader in gin clear water, with a 2/0 hook goeey bob and big chunk of red wool, shows how aggressive these fish are I guess. ;) Its to bad I hadnt gotten a picture of this beauty in my hands :'( , but oh well just having one on my hook is good enough.

How do you enlarge a pic off photbucket?

I have already caught and released over 50 steelhead this year.   Ok fine, I was using the electroshocker at work. ;D They should still go toward my catch total though. ;)   I can't wait to get out and use the fishing rod.

I am 0 for 5 for summers this year lost 2 in July at Upper Chehalis Canyon and I have lost 3 in the Seymour! I hope my luck changes on my upcoming trip to the T.
All of my Bulkley / Vedder / Thompson / Chehalis steelies from last year are on my film camera so I will try to scan some pics to add on this thread later.

I'm a wildlife biologist and sometimes use the electroshocker to sample fish as well as assist in moving fish out of certain areas that have to be de-watered for one reason or another.

Despite having a few photos of some rather great looking fish "out of water", I am kinda partial to this one as well as it gives a different perspective!!!
