.....the basics:

One 18-20+ inch wild steelhead released on a #14 green beadhead (from
fly exchange). One at least 24-28" wild steelhead released on a #8,
mottled green brass conehead bugger, (fought for 25 plus minutes
before I could release it), and another steelhead hooked/broke off on
same conehead bugger pattern. Finally, one very fat Brown (about 18")
released, on a size 8, mottled green conehead bugger. All taken late
afternoon/early evening. How truely strong and wonderful these wild
fish are.

Look forward to the report. You nymphing the beadhead and swinging the
bugger?
