I would say it was a pretty good year. I started fishing for steelies after I got back from my Costa Rica trip, around mid January. My very first cast, I landed a 10 lbs hatchery crome buck. Had some great days out there, my best being 6 fish to hand in one outting. I ended this year with 35 steelies to hand, and I lost count on how many I lost, due to freezing cold hands. Last year I landed 33. So 68 fish in the last two years is not too bad. Just wondering how some of you guys and gals made out this year? :beerchug:

Last year I was stuck on 13............This year I has better luck on the smaller tribs in the lower mainland and padded my stats by two rather successful trips to the Stamp combined with a nice outing with Fish Finder in the Chilli, I was able to bring 25 to hand. I don't count the long line releases and the smart fish that roll on the gravel and become disengaged all the time, nor all the two headshakes and gone.....Fish to hand
Ortho 25 ......Escapees 15 ;D ;D

i went 0 for about 18 trips out but gained some very valuable knowledge from many members on this site....and it helped out that steelie101 happend to be my neighbour with the deadly supersize me roe bags....saw many fish landed but didnt even get one on the line to feel those head shakes.....oh well look out next year!!!

15 hooked 12 landed. all came from little creeks and rivers from the lower mainland. Did alright. Best year so far. Hooked 7 fish from the same pool that i hooked my first from 6 years ago. All were hooked on roe or blades.

Zero fish! Seven whole days and hooked only two, but I sure had a great time, and met some nice folks who taught me a bunch towards next years hunt.

I only went steelhead fishing once this year (the Vedder river) and all I caught was 2 whitefish. I am hoping to get out more next season and pound the Chilliwack/Vedder river more. ;D

well this year i got 5 to hand and only one being hatch, which was the first steel on the new pin rod :thumbup:

last year i had mid twenties as i made a cool 13fish day right at the end of march sure would have been nice to have the river co-operate more this year so i didnt get out much

tight lines

HOOK

and just like ortho many hours fly fishing but still a virgin however got a new spey to try now instead :thumbup:

I can honestly say I don't know how many I caught this year...I didn't count, but I can say I remember each and every day out there was awesome, I feel they were all successes in one or more ways! Although come to think of it, some of those days were real tough, but despite that, they were a successful part of the process...

All in all, I'd say it was a great year! :happy:
