Catching Big Steelhead on the Clearwater River in Idaho

That type of net damages the fish. They are abrasive. Try a rubber netting material. Plus the rubber nets wont snag your rig.

nice fish

is there any limit on how many you can catch and keep ?

[1branman1986]

@ytertyu that really varies depending on the location. A lot of places will have specific sets of rules/ regulaions. But the basic limit (In Oregon at least) is 2 per day just the same as salmon

best way to fish these steelies (in my opinion) are with spoons. I live in the area. everyday we hit the water we catch fish, i only use spoons now. just a thought for you guys.
