After a month or so of prospecting in my new boat, we picked up a NICE chrome native hen in the Sky yesterday. Upper teens. Still no blood in the boat, but got some fish slime and a scale or two!!

That is a beautiful fish.
I sure hope you were careful how you handled it. That net on the floor of your boat and that big dog sitting there have me a little concerned for that fish.

Bouncing wild fish around the bottom of a boat isn't fine.

If the fish was handled carefully then I am sorry for my comments. Too often I see guys net wild fish drag them in the boat, let them flop around until they "settle down", then take a picture and release them. Maybe I am reading too much into this post, maybe I am over sensative. The net on the floor and the scales and slime comment set of the alarm.

No sheet to that. That is the number 1 reason I don't post pictures. Seems lately that alot of people have chips on their shoulder. Might have alot to do with the lousy hatchery returns. <img border="0" alt="[wall]" title="" src="graemlins/wall.gif" />

Thats what its all about!  Good job... I can see why Vic is concerned though, ive also witnessed guys one too many times netting Nates and hearing them flop around in the bottom...makes me cringe

Just want to clarify my position, because the internet is an imperfect form of communication.
I enjoy catching wild steelhead as much as anyone here. It wasn't my intention to sound like I have a chip on my shoulder, or criticize, merely to bring up propper handling of these fish, that are so precious to me.
In my opinion a wild steelhead has no business in a boat, on or on a sandy beach.
That is all I was trying to say.

To net or not to net??? That's a lot of water to take a fish to shore; so I say they did the right thing by utilizing a net/boat to land her. I'm familiar with that section of the river and there are not many slow-water spots to land the fish from shore. I suspect a protracted fight would ensue from the bank in that heavy water, expending lots of her energy. So she lost a few scales and slime versus being totally played out and exhausted. IMO she would've been worse off with the latter. Maybe consider a knotless landing net for the future...

Hey vic why don't you chill out and congradulate the guy on the fish and be greatful he released it. Second I would thank the guy for letting your stuck up arse the privledge of seeing an incredible fish. Your right the internet is an odd form of communication in real life I would be the first to crack up laughing at your pitiful attempts to be recognized as some guru, expert, or conservationist. I think the right hobbie for you is being a male ice skating judge where you can be ultra thensitive. Log onto ncaa womens basketball stats homepage guy.
