First steelhead in 112 years

Fished a two-boat gear trip yesterday.  We had three generations land their
first steelhead.  We saw a bunch of
good bright summer steelhead but never really figured out how to get them
snapping.   Here are some pics
of some of the biters.

                        Mike Z is holding Russ’s unmarked steelhead; this is his first at eighty years old.

                                                 Here is Ryan with a nice hatchery steelhead

Greg hooked and lost a steelhead 32 years ago; this is his first since then.  These guys had 112 years into this fish
