My best day steelheading was 18 fish hooked, 15 landed. Didn't get started until 1 hour after daybreak (7:30) and ended at 2:30. My largest ever steelhead was 24-26 lbs. caught using a #5 blade weighted spinner in the tailout of a pool. If it wasn't for the stranger who came down to where I was fishing on the river, I wouldn't have a photo of me with that fish.
@@michaeldriedger8564 The 15 for 18 was on one day in mid-March of that year. Strange thing was that I didn't see another fisherman on the river the entire time I was there. Maybe that's why I was able to hook so many fish. The 24 - 26 lbs steelie was on a different day...different year, in fact. Same river, though. I must add, both instances were 20 years ago. As most rivers have, that river has seen a large decline in fish, since.
Wow. That is GREAT.

Nice steelhead and you got a bonus fly rod 🐟👍
was a day to remember thats for sure

That is a really expensive fly rod. Nice catch
That it is, once in a lifetime catch
could be wrong but that was a jack coho at 8:30
sorry you lost that first one, looked long!
was a big one, that last jump where my arm blocked the camera , it was so big broke my heart
