Steelhead
« on: November 29, 2011, 03:07:04 PM »
First let me say that I didn't know Fred's used twitter but good on them for keeping up with the times.
It's been nice to see all of the shops ramping up their social media presence.
That being said Fred's just tweeted a 6# steelie came out of the river today.

How in the hell did anyone catch a fish out of the Vedder?
Has it dropped/cleaned up that much already?!

According to the report section on Freds site, the river is in beautiful shape.

Each person describes water conditions differently :D.  At about 1 pm I thought the visibility was about 12 " and dropping fast.  Very fishable.

Was just in Freds, the Steelhead was caught by a local angler well known and on the water ALOT, he had pics as well.
Best part was he caught it on one of my jigs, a "pinky".

My earliest was on November 27th, hooked 2 that day. That particular year was a good early run, got 2 fish on December 5th as well and the derby weighed in quite a few that season on boxing day.
