2014 Trout Opener...steelhead madness!

Adam, we miss you. Wish you were here fishing with us.

For a short summary:

It was a complete madness first thing in the morning. As soon as we got more colour in the sky, the fish turned on!

Here's my first of the day at around 6:30am.



Here's my last of the day...but also my first ever steelhead on a silver spinner. I love the violent hit you get on the hardware!



We only landed one fish under 5lbs all day. I would say the average was 7-9lbs. I finally caught a legit 10lb steelhead that we weighted on the digital scale. Fishing was insane!!!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
