27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Re: Epic Steelhead

Same fish, different pose.

Another big steelhead taken on a swung fly.

Another retro steelhead picture. See the red egg fly in the jaw. The rod is a boron graphite made by Ted Simroe. It is 8' 6" for a #8. I still have this rod and it has landed hundreds of king and coho salmon 12# - 30#.

Fighting a big steelhead! You can see a stringer on the log in the water in the foreground. There is a 10# hen on the stringer. At the time I was still keeping fish and would cull out bigger fish for smaller, easier to carry, steelhead. The water on the far side was great holding water and there was a deep trough all along that side.
