Little steelhead
« on: April 01, 2014, 10:21:06 AM »
Caught this summer. Don't worry- it was released unharmed. It had a fin so I couldn't keep it- even though I know it was not a wild fish.

Enjoy

Looks like a Hanford employee that caught a nice one at  coffee break down by where they spill the waste into the Columbia.  You'd think it would be glowing green, not red.

You can tell that it's a hatchery fish for sure because of all the red color on her belly.

Looks quiet lethargic... Should be able to warm it back up and release it unharmed. :dunno: Nice fish whoever caught it?

It was a QIN net caught fish. Pretty sure my brother in law Shane held it for the original pic. He was woking QA at the fish house when it came in.

Fish is just "resting".

Besides, I'm a little younger and somewhat less good-looking than the gentleman in the picture.
