Nice fish Eric!
Steelhead is a great eating fish, how'd you cook it?
I brine and smoke them most of the time, or grill it with a brown sugar glaze since those are Sarah's favorite ways. If I smoke the fillets we can snack on it for several days, and it's just as good as the first. I am taking a nice fillet off one similar in size to a superbowl party on sunday. ;D
When should I pick you up at the airport. :D
Ah !!! Smoked fish , you are my new bestess friend ;D 8)
Nothing like wild fresh fish, especially any salmonid species. 8) 8)
This little one got to go free. Not too long back, on a blue and silver plug.

Here is some pics of me and one of my buddies fishing @ Kohler, WI . Steelhead fishing can get to be really addictive that is for certain. I float fish and mostly use fresh spawn on various colors of jigs. At Kohler or any of the lake Michigan tributaries you have a chance of hooking Brown trout also and on this same stretch of water I have landed some that were over #20.

Might have posted this before, but how is this for a brook trout?

The biggest I used to catch would range 3-5lbs on the North Pole Stream. They liked to lay around big boulders or big deep black holes. ;D
Those are nice fish Northwoods. I fish with roe and jigs too, but I also throw a lot of spinners and spoons. I like pulling plugs from a boat but they are useless from shore, where I am most of the time. :-\
I am decidedly with Fish on this one ;D.
This I think from last year, didn't take any pictures this winter.
