Steelhead from this weekend

Well guys, took the last weekend to do one last scouting trip before the season begins next weekend. Nothing too exciting to report as far as deer go (I'm a little disappointed that I didn't see any real shooters. Not an issue though, I'm lookin' forward to gettin' out there anyway).
I did get to do some steelhead fishing though. Here's a pic of a decent hen I brought home on Sunday.

Mark,

If you're ever up around my neck of the woods let me know (SE WA). I'd be more than happy to take ya out on the Snake and try our luck.

You have to know that I'll definately take you up on that offer! I have never fished for steelhead and I have no idea what, where or how! It's now on my list of fish to chase! Are you bank fishing?

What about brown trout? I've got the boat if you've got the water! I could easily make a weekend out of it!

We were using the boat on Sunday and normally do when steelhead fishing. There are days when we just don't have the time to get the boat on the water so we'll hit them from the bank though. As long as I'm fishing, I'll have fun either way.

No real Brownie fishing here unfortunately. I've caught them before in Montana and Idaho and there IS some Brownie fishing in the state...just not in the SE region.

Man, I sure do miss fishing in the Northwest. Used to live in Everett and finally learned enough about how to catch some salmon and steelhead before I was transferred. Even had the wife out once, standing waist deep in the river with the snow falling. Maybe one day I'll make it back up there to fish again.
