I
had three fish attack my dink float, and Andy had two try it, but I
couldn't coax a rise to a dry.

dink float? Unethical!! ;-)

Must be something about the name Steve...


Serious question: if you could get one of these behemoths to rise to a
dry would it be tied on a size 6 or larger hooks?

#6 is the smallest hook I'll use on Steelhead. I tie dries on #4 to
2/0. One of these days I'm going to snell a hook onto the leader next
to the float and hook one of these big fools.

I caught 2 more in the same area today, a 26 inch hatchery fish that's
in the refrigerator now, and a larger fish that got away after about 5
minutes.

Thanks Chaz.
