Monster Spring Steelhead

Spring 2010, after a good solid week of rain, we knew it that as soon as the flows came down, there would be fish everywhere. We brought a first time steelheader, Mitch, on the trip. Lots of hooks ups, lots of break offs in the logs. Some big fresh fish, and some screaming drags.

Just because it is a creek, does not mean that the fish do not feed...

[turtleguy923]

These are steelhead. They run to some of the biggest freshwater "oceans" there are!!! :D

@Thenerfbros1 didn't you see the glow bug in that steelhead's mouth at about 1:35?

Nice video! I remember my first steelhead back in spring 2010 also. Caught it at the spot at 2:16 lol

@rynathe Incorrect.,

Steelhead is the definition for the migratory Rainbow Trout.

[rynathe]

These are not steelhead. These are rainbow trout. Only the PNW has steelhead. By definition a steelhead runs to ocean to feed.

@Thenerfbros1

How do you figure? Steelhead, will definitely take while in the rivers and creeks...so I don't see your logic.

[Thenerfbros1]

Fishing in that creek snagging, you should use a heavy leader

@imtheguvnor they're like UK seatrout, they're just sea rn rainbow trout that come into the rivers to spawn

[danebrewer10]

amazing that there are sch big fish in such small rivers!
