hooked at least 15 steelhead and never landed one.
Day 2, hooked more, but did bring some of these to the net/shore. The pic shows my first one that I beached.
The creek was full of fish and full of fisherman….a nicer group of guys you couldn’t find. A lot different than some I have run into. Footnote:
every fish I hooked, I watched eat my size 20 spawn. The egg sack guys knocked them out of the park fishing in the lake. They tore them up in the creek as well.
