I got this one today swinging a flashback birds nest on a poly leader.

Nice going Gup.

[Bruce Berman]

Yeah, way to go!

I think I caught the same fish tonight! I missed another one 5 minutes later that was fresher looking but I think it completley missed the fly on the take as it flew out of the water sideways slashing at the fly as I didn't feel anything on the hookset. I know, bad pic but still camera shopping..... Hatchery fish, just bulldogged me the whole time but took awhile to get him in. 16-17" or so.

Hey Gup.............that looks like a 5 pounder? Excellent.......

Why drive anywhere if you can catch them right here on the Lower American River????????

I think everyone needs to put in some time on our river.

I am hearing more about Steelhead in the American River now plus lots more salmon in our valley rivers.

[STEELIES/26c3]

Way to go Garrett~!!

oh you bet mark! This kid tortures me with picture messages with every fish he lands while i sit in SAT test prep class and daydream about steelhead.

As soon as November 6th passes I'm free! Thanksgiving is gonna be a week long sleep in the back of the jeep trip....cant wait!

We can fish the Lower American River from August through June for Steelhead.

OK.....maybe July too.......
