I mean steelhead as big as footballs. Saturday put Dan and I late at the trestle and Dan had his usual 2 dozen hook ups at the Lacinski hole.
I did not have that kind of success, but did manage some fish there and popped a bunch in the rifle below, 3 on in 3 casts there, which was quite nice.
The following day, Dan was under the weather, so I made the trek to the trestle thru 18″ of snow and upon arrival a guy was leaving and said they bombed them there. I fished any how and for the first hour and a half I did zilch. Then the creek turned on and it was one steelie after another, with only one other guy on the creek.
My highlight was one from the rifle below that I saw swim over and eat the fly. At the favorite spot I lost a huge fish due to a poor knot and foul hooked another, and that hole looks like the best spot on the creek. Wish I would not have run out of daylight.
