Tore up

So I went up the Mac for some steelhead fishing yesterday afternoon and no such luck on the steelies.I was drifting pinky nail size chuncks of eggs that I just cured up and tick tick wham set the hook and fish takes off out of the little pocket I was drifting.Salmon on and its a strong one.End up fighting it for probally 2 min before the hook pulled as I was tring to get the fish back up river through the current so my pressure was a little excessive.Remind you light steelhead gear 8lb leader and #4 hooks so 20 min later bam fish on and she holds but another salmon.End up landing this on and she was pushing 25lbs with a giant adipose fin.Release her and end up doing this over and over again for couple hours.Only got two pics and the fish I landed were all native hens released to do thier thing and make more for us.When I had enough I was 3 for 13 on salmon as I just couldnt hold them with my gear in the hole I was steelhead fishing.Oh well win some lose some.The 2 fish I was able to calm down for photo time real quick were 14-15 lbs so good luck to all thier is plenty of oppertunity out thier if you search.

You may not have got your targeted quarry but sounds like a real fun day! How hot is it over there this weekend, me and my son are going to make a trip to upper fall creek tomorrow to do some fishing

guarenteed ...I know a spot that is starting to fill up with nooks for the more oxygen in the river but I was fishing for steelies.Couldnt hold them in the hole for the most part on my light steelhead gear but went back the next day prepaired and we were able to land some.Mostly nates where we were but do get some hatchery as well.If you know old timer Berry drives a blue older toyota he was with me.
