Title: Steelhead time
Post by: fishingbouchman on July 30, 2014, 09:56:18 PM: Buddy is in town from Kansas to do some fishing. We landed 3 but had to let a native go. Had another break off and another drive by. We let his boy reel them all in. He is one of the keepers

Friend is taking all the fish back to Kansas. No fish for me. We will have plenty later on the year. No steelhead in Kansas

I have only hooked one steelhead - it was in a river here in the PNW on a flyrod - I got so darn excited (and I am not a novice fly fisherman) that I raised the rod tip instead of bowing on about the third jump and snapped him off :( :( :(

Post by: Keymaster on August 01, 2014, 04:52:43 PM: Nice Steelhead. I grew up fishing the Willamette and McKenzie river down in Oregon when I was a kid. Also had a slew running through the neighborhood for all the catfish, bass and frogs you could eat. Not a big fish eater anymore unless it's smoked and semi dry.
