#581171 - 02/13/10 09:42 PM My First Steelhead Over 30
Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8379 Loc: West Duvall	I'm so excited I don't mind telling you all how and where. This beauty was estimated at 44 by 25. (I didn't have a tape, so estimated both measurements.) The photo doesn't do it justice, but trust me it was well over 30. I took this beauty at Tokul creek on a Doc Spratly swung fly, using a 14 foot two-handed rod. The fight was well over thirty minutes - or so it seemed to me. See you all there tomorrow.

Sky-Guy The Tide changed Registered: 08/31/00 Posts: 7083 Loc: Everett	What a coincidence Dave! I was there yesterday and caught a fish pushing 30 too. Incredible fight in small water. Sorry for the lack of details in the picture...I didnt want to give my spot behind the hatchery away. _________________________ You know something bad is going to happen when you hear..."Hey, hold my beer and watch this"
