    Steelhead Report 11/24/06

    I was able to get out for a few hours in the morning today. Luckly we have had warm weather the last few days and today was just as nice. I ended up hooking and landing 2 nice Steelhead and 1 nice brown. All 3 giving a great fight! Not sure what the water temp was but it was very cold to the touch. Lots of dead salmon on the bottom close to shore, I didn't see any salmon still alive, I am sure almost all are dead now. Here are the pics:

    Very nice looking fish. It has to be great to catch fish like that close to home..

    I made it out again yesterday morning and It was slow to say the least, nothing, not even a hit, I did manage to foul hook a black dieing salmon, probably the last one still alive on the river.
    OntheWater,
    All the fish came on a Bronze #3 Mepps Agila.
