Your first sounds like a great fish as well. Hatchery or wild, chrome or colored up- it's amazing what these fish go through to make it back home. I caught a small hatchery fish this fall on the Methow river- completely different experience in all regards from the Sauk fish, but still satisfying. Hopefully many more to come. As for run-on sentences, I can guarantee more of that! Thanks, Dave. Your first sounds like a great fish as well.

Man that's awesome! I've been looking for this entry ever since I started frequenting your page. Awesome fish, and much like my first steelhead (mine was hatchery re-run and colored much more like a rainbow) it seems that they were similar in size. But my first steel was caught many many miles from salt water. Time to dig out the map. Follow the Columbia River from the Pacific, east to the Willamette River. Then south to the McKenzie, and then east, about 1/2 way up the McKenzie just east of Leaburg Dam. I couldn't agree more. Once your proverbial cherry has been popped on steelhead, your life, as you know it, is over! Oh yeah... run-on sentences RULE!!!!!! keep 'em coming! Dave Kirk. Man that’s awesome!

Yeah, Brian knows his way around the river for sure. I doubt I'll catch a better fish than that unless I venture to BC some day. Thanks for chiming in, Dylan.

Very nice. The only stealhead I have caught were done so on, get ready, a G. Loomis (yes, I own one) regular old rod with bait caster. The shame........ Someday, I shall try with a fly rod, not a spey rod because the sticker says I shouldn't. Good story~ Nice! Very nice. The only stealhead I have caught were done so on, get ready, a G.
