First steelhead on a Fly

I am very excited... I caught my first steelhead in the
Wenatchee river after work this afternoon and it was on one of my
own tied flys... WOW, the fish was a hatchery stock fish just a shade
over 23 inches long I did not weigh it. It was very exciting!

Nice fishie! On a fly you tied yourself, how cool is that? Looks like one for the barbeque. Congrats on a fine fish.

After reading some of the posts here, I am guessing that there might be some guys on this site that would like to fish with you. :lol:

Just had to put the chit on you.

Seriously now, congrats on a nice fish. Looking forward to some of those myself and very soon. (Fish that is, not the pot)

Nice fish!

I remember catching my first great lakes steely last year. With my beginner-kit 5wt rod & reel it was a fight I'll never forget, I'm sure you've got some similar memories now too!

Nice looking fly too, btw!

Wow, well done! I still remember my first steelie on a fly on the South Fork of the Clearwater - it is etched into my brain and will always be a fond memory.
