First steelhead on the Humber, first time out. It was a bit like fishing in chocolate milk, so I guess this fish has a really good nose. It sure isn't huge. Maybe I should have gone looking for suckers...

GREAT LOOKING BOW!


They can be very tough to get at the location.
Over the next couple of weeks .... using worms will get you either: Suckers or BOWs


Great to get out and enjoy the water.





MANY MANY MANY more to come!

Roe - technically I was 1 for 2. I lost a much bigger one (naturally) and missed a few good strikes that I'll consider "site-specific calibration." Posted Image

Congrats on the first fish Marc, Good to see some nice steelhead are being caught on the Humber lately. There should be drop backs being caught soon.
