Look at that water color.  Can you say steelhead green?  Wish I was there.

Hell of a Steelie!! If he released it he needs a lesson in fish handling. I don't see an adipose fin but it is hard to tell. I didn't know that there was a time period that you could keep Native Steelhead? I release all mine including hatchery fish.

i think some of the rivers on the peninsula you can keep nates. i can't fathom a 30 pound hatchery brat. that would have to be some sort of mutant chinook/steelhead cross.

Will the Hoe be any good the first week of April?
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

From what I have read that fish could be the pending world record for a fly rod.
