Caught a nice steelhead today.

[Saltwater60]

Stopped on my way home from work for about 30 minutes to wet a line and cause about 24"-26" steelhead. I'd say 7lbs. Fat fish and it will taste good on Saturday. I got some really nice fat fillers. I felt a little bad since it was a female, but I got some good skien out of her

Nice steelie,wish I fished for them yearly but the Ontario tribs are about 2 hours away.Havent been up for steelies or salmon in a few years,but if you got fresh egg sacks fish on.Unless your at Maxwell then its snag city.

Looks like you did bleed her out first,makes a world of difference in taste.Think with the steeliest it helps with the eggs drying out as well but I do it to all the walleye I catch,lot of people dont realize this and get the nasty taste.

Yes some old timer told me that. I slit behind the gills and the base of the tail and put them back on the water until the blood stops. It does help with the flavor.

I smoked it lightly with some apple wood and everybody loved it and went nuts for it. They are asking for more. Pressures on to produce another. Been a tough year. Fishing should be good going forward, but it gets tough because cold weather and sun goes down so early now.
