I got this one, and had three more on the line. One of those three was the first springer to speak of in this river. Holy crap did it take line. The last I saw of it, it was headed back to sea at a phenomenal rate. Got a good peek at it, and ‘huge’ is the term I would use.
I did hit two more steelhead on shrimp (The Brick’s recipe) after that and one of those was a pig. Had five minutes of fun with that fish. The last one was only a couple head shakes and a jump. It was a day of go to baits though, the ol’pinky was a twofer, and the shrimp was a twofer. Say hello to my favorite two baits.
The hen I landed this morning was stapled with an owner top and bottom so she was done from the bite. She will taste good and feed my family and the neighbors. She gave up 1.5 pounds of row and 7 pounds of fillets.
Well thats the report from my end, let me know how your end went. Oh yeah, and it was a rainy bitch today, Hope yours was drier.

A tough 1st tournament as usual in Feburary. Finished 5th out of 9 teams. Caught 6 out of our teams 7 fish caught. 4 of which we could weigh due to the lakes regulations. All four fish just happened to be fish I caught. Rough day for my partner. Our final weight was 9lbs even. 1st place had a little over 13lbs.
We just couldn’t find any big fish that wanted to bite. I did catch a nice 3 lb 5oz fish though, which was our biggest fish. Caught 3 of my 6 fish with my Die Hard Custom Baits “wild flipperz” (beaver) in the picture, but the color that was hot was a little more green with purple flake.
Anyway, next month should be warmer and the fish will be up shallow spawning or getting ready too and hopefully bite a little better.

Fish on a deck. Duh.
LOTS of more steelheading content to come! I’ll be airing a February Wrap Up movie with new footage from many of our new and old members of Team Salmon……..including drift AND float-caught fish…as well as ‘bobber’s down’ on film! A first in five years for me to get a ‘bobber down’ clip and I came a nose hair away from getting two of them in one day. Got the hook set on one…bobber down on the other. Thanks in advance to The Brick for both of these…..your streak of hooked fish is alive and long running. Congrats.
You’ll also see one of the prettiest steelhead you will see all season. BIG Jake with this well earned claim to fame. But you really have to see this fish to appreciate it. It was tremendously hard-earned.
I hope you come back soon and plan on spending a while because there’s more I haven’t mentioned….like Bear does it again too!! So send in your stories and photos today!
Check back daily for new pictures, movies, clips and more……H3llcat
