Spring Picture - Late but Good

[pentwaterflyfisher]

Here is my best fish of the spring. My buddies and I do an annual steelhead trip where we invite everyone and anyone. We typically get about 12 to 20 guys, some of whom have never stream fished. This means I end up spending the majority of the weekend helping the newbies. After two days of mostly helping I was bound and determined to catch a fish. I moved into position, fished it hard for about 30 minutes with nothing. I let one of the other guys in and he hooked and landed another steel (his 3rd of the day). I begged him to let me back in the spot. I was running out of time. We planned on heading to the bar to see the MI State Basketyball game. As the rest of the group was gathering up and teasing me about leaving, I hooked and landed this one. Obviously it made my day...and shut off the teasing.

Man I love this sport.

Beautiful steelhead and a tough spot to land a fish, especially a bright one. Thanks for not naming the river.
