This was my Fiancee's first steelhead ever. Man you should've seen her face. It was worth all the untangling I had to do for her lol. It was pulled out of the same hole on the Tucannon

Congrats on a nice fish

Thank you. I've caught some dollies up higher in the park, there's a really nice whole for them that also usually holds steelhead and salmon right next to the fly fish only lake. It's selective gear only and catch and release only up there though. I've usually always caught a majority of my steelhead on the lower tucannon by starbuck. these two were caught on the lower part. you'll have to get up there for the run, it should be really kicking off in about a week or two
