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...

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.   :tup:
