Saturday and Sunday Steel

A pretty hen steelhead caught and released, fishing a North Shore tributary of Lake Superior.

 

Dog makes sure fish is legit, looks like 28 inches.

 

Phil's first steelhead fly-fishing in a river, a big healthy male with a big kype! A grand moment.

 

Not a bad looking hatchery fish.

 

Let's bonk that hatchery fish with the Big Kype stick! (Look back there! I think it's a fisherwoman!)


The Steelhead are Jumping!

There are a lot of fish in the rivers right now. These pictures were all taken within just a couple of minutes. I fished this pool below the falls and hooked a number of fish, but only landed a couple. Every one of them is chrome and fresh and fighting hard and crazy. This weekend should be a lot of fun.
