Awesome fish and pictures. Thanks for sharing a great outing! Steelhead to a fly is still on my must do list!

It was on the swing, I just love the takes when swinging the fly. It was a different take with the cold water. I had the wait through the 10 seconds of what I thought was a trout nibbling before setting the hook. Then finally after the nibbling came the heavy wait of the take. The set was on. It was a fun fish. Thanks guys for the replys.

What river was that? It takes a hearty soul to go out in weather like that...

I bet that water was a little cold
Very nice fish! I love to see when people handle the native fish right. Props to you on that.

Swinging a big fly or something sparse? Bright or dark? I've been flyfishing for steelies about 10 yrs now. I have yet to figure out a preference depending on the conditions. Each river seems to have different tastes.
I am trying to figure out the nymphing game now though, figure it's easier to fish while floating in the DB.

Nice fish man, you've got yourself a little honey hole there. Its hard to find a consistent place to swing up winter steel. Good work keeping that guy in the water too, nice to see guys doing it the right way.
