Wow, that's impressive. Drifting or swinging, if I may ask?
Indo with a bead and olive fox poopah. Took the nymph. K

Nice buck!
Great looking buck there- how bad was the crowds?

Was there any caddis activity? I went Saturday afternoon as the drizzle wound down and was disappointed at the complete lack of hatch activity. Sorry, you have me all excited now...

It was pretty crowded early. Only a few fishermen left on the water at 10am. I saw one other steelhead caught at Sailor Bar. Looked like he was Euro Nymphing.... My arm would fall off!! Other than that a couple snagged salmon. There were a few caddis right when it was totally pouring rain about 10am???? BS, I still want to get that big cutty..... Someday! But today the short (and much safer) drive to the A was the better option. Good luck to everyone this year! K

Looks like a wild male.....nice.
I believe that adult steelhead are going to eat mostly caddis larva on the bottom.
We get mostly Half-pounders on hatches.

What was on the upper hook of your leader? It looks bare...

My guess is the bead. A lot of people let the bead slide on the leader above the hook - leads to sometimes outside mouth sets but your success goes up. Nymph was probably a dropper.

Very nice fish! Good job and thanks for the intel.
That was the hook below a bead. the bead was pegged about 1" above the hook but slid up during the fight. K

Spectacular colors- that is what Steelheading is all about!
Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your post...

Took a drive out to Nimbus on Sunday morning to take a walk on the parkway...fair number of fish in the ladder, some that looked pretty fresh actually, and plenty of people were of course flossing the redds below the wire. I didn't see any fish caught walking from Nimbus down to the big shad hole below Sailor Bar and back.
