Thanks SS

That is a really wonderful looking wild Steelhead caught on our local American River.

Cool fishing with dad.

Ryder!

You're my hero!

Guess those spoons kinda work don't they?

Nice wild hen brother.

Sorry I couldn't be there I was fishing up north.

Was that a RVRFSHR 2/5 oz silver?

That's the sweet spot for landing a hot, wild steelie... a hook through the tongue rarely shakes loose and is unquestionably eaten rather than lined...

YOU ROCK!

Yes, that's a great looking fish, any estimates on it's length?? I could tie you some spoon flies if you like...

[Charlie Gonzales]

Hey Jeff, I'll take some of those spoon flies!

[charles]

Nice!! Very nice!

[Jgoding]

Damn it Charlie, you're going to make me actually tie some??

[Steelie-Stalker]

It measured about 28.5" and fought like a champ!


and I wouldnt mind a couple spoon flies Jeff if it'll get me a fish like that!

[Kevin Goding]

As soon as duck season is over, might have to go try for a steelhead. If they'll eat a spoon will have to try some small striper flies lol and see what happens.

[Fish Head]

That's a fine looking fish! I'll bet that 28" football got the blood pumpin!

Thanks for sharing.
