oh, dude

An extraordinary 11?+ lb. spawning buck steelhead was taken on a size 6 egg sucking stonefly nymph. A true alpha, he was on the redd nuzzling up with his chromer honey and it wasn't hard or long before he was induced to lash out at the rude intruder. He dragged me out well into my backing, leapt and thrashed around and just kept going and going downstream. When I landed him I noticed the fine spotting and rosy cheeked perfection that marked the impeccable genetic credentials of this rainbow.
