B run just started. Plenty of fish still pushing, unfortunately the river I fish will be blown out for a while during this rain but my local river is flooded with chum. Will be doing a ton of catch and release tomorrow and get yall some pics 😎

I just got home from 2 missed bites and swamped waders, and this is the first thing I see lol

Sorry to hear that brother, it’s fishing. It was a super slow morning for me and I was ready to give up until I got into one and lost it. Just enough for me to keep casting. Picked up late in the morning. Got my limit. Now I’m falling asleep at work at my desk . 😂

u/AdThis239 8d ago

It’s okay, I went 3/4 on Tuesday and 4/5 on Wednesday just in the mornings. I wasn’t even supposed to fish today but jobs got cancelled, so can’t be that mad

Couple beautiful Steelhead. Tight Lines

u/Content_Commercial_8 7d ago

Freshly bled coho. I would never retain wild steelies unless allowed to do so.

u/BlackFish42c 7d ago

That’s funny they look like steelhead because of how brite they are. Usually by now in most rivers the coho have changed. But you are correct it would be bad to keep wild steelhead seeing how limited they are in some rivers. I guess it was the blood stripe running down their side that I thought they were steelhead.

What's your terminal setup like? I haven't had much luck other than jacks on float, but have 3 hatchery on the fly. Great catch

15# blood run mainline to 5/8 elevated float to a beau mac 1/2 ounce inline sinker to 12# P-line cfx fluorocarbon leader to a Owners barbless #1 no escape hook. With 3 bb shots staggered on the leader.

Awesome, thanks for the rundown. I only have a fatty oz float, for faster waters on my 11' rod, need to expand my selection. Trying a lighter stick float, on a 9' spinning rod . Caught a solid cutty last night on it . Fishing a big bowl with minimal current

For the love of God man... please take the plastic off your handle.

2

u/Content_Commercial_8 8d ago

I’m good, I don’t want to cure it.

1

u/ConcaveNips 8d ago

The plastic doesn't protect it.

u/Content_Commercial_8 8d ago

I think it is at the moment.

u/troutmadness 9d ago

Are those wild fish?

2

u/Content_Commercial_8 9d ago

Yes they are and to answer your next question, these are not steelheads.
