Me, my sister, and my mother went out steelhead fishing this fall for Amy's birthday in October. We got down to a favorite fishing hole on the Main Salmon later in the afternoon. Having not done much steelhead fishing before I got my new drift-boat we were trying a couple of different methods trying to get one of those elusive steelhead on for Amy on her birthday. Not long after being in the hole, she looked back at me and said, "I think I may have something." Sure enough she did have a wild Idaho steelhead on. When the excitement hit the boat it was a little chaotic, not going to tell you otherwise because it was. After this wild steelhead fought all the way to the boat, I got it with the net. It was a wild fish, so we let it swim away to continue on with its migratory path. Here is even picture evidence that this is not just another fish story.
