Caught my first steelhead today, an 8-lb summer run, landed by me and netted in by my wife. We've had several caught for us by designate harvesters, but I'd really wanted to catch one myself. Woo-hoo!

Makes me think back to my first and how you must feel. Congrats and good luck on many more. The first one is often the hardest.

~Mike~ There are a few kinds of steelhead fishing; fly, float, drift, spoon, spinner, plugs, boondoggin, bobberdoggin,.... and then there is float fishing in 18\" of water. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!  |

Great job. That's a good fish. Seems like nothing can bring out the true colors of a relationship like netting a fish...esp the first one  |

Well done! That didn't take you long. Just a couple of days ago you were introducing yourself on here. Seemed like it took me forever and a day to land my first steel.
Well congrats! and many more to come.
