Hunting For Fall Steelhead

Saturday morning I went out with my fishing friend Kevin for some fall steelhead fishing. We met up at one of the main tributaries in our area around 6am and had lines in the river at first light. It had rained earlier in the week and the river was still a little murky leaving fish with low visibility to see our baits.

We had a couple morning hits that didn’t result in caught fish and decided to move on to another river in hopes to catch some steelhead. The water was clearer at Location Two and we were spotting fish.  I started drifting the pool and within minutes we were pulling out some decent small steelhead.

My friend alerted me to a bigger one he spotted, I drifted through and she took it! This one was stronger and putting up a good fight running around and jumping a handful of times. Cant wait to hit the rivers again and find some big ones!
