14LBS Steelhead caught on the American

[Mark Kranhold]

A good 5# Steelhead on a fly is pretty nice.

I agree Bill, my favorite steelhead on the American are those little football Springrun. Blue backs as some people referred to them. Hot spunky and full of piss and vinegar

Thanks Mark. There was some fiesty ones that came through this last fall that had attitudes.

I’ll second the spring and fall fish, especially the spring bluebacks. Much more surface oriented, fewer crowds - I rarely fish the winter run here anymore. My failed quest to raise a winter fish on a dry continues, however.
