Fished the wallace on 10/20/2012 with a couple friends for some coho action. Upon arrival and talking to a few guys it sounded to be a bit slow. We decided to fish the hole right below the hwy 2 bridge. The water seemed a bit high and kind of murky. There were a few coho jumping down below where we were fishing. After about 2 hours of trying a combination of Jigs, Spoons, and Shrimp we realized it was a bit slow for the coho but we continued to fish for a while. After switching up to a small 1/16th ounce red aero jig I made a couple casts then made one more cast and about half way in I twitched the jig a couple times and let the jig sink back to the bottom I twitched it one more time and SLAM! The fish Immediately came out of the water and thats when I saw chrome and a nice pink stripe down the side! Right away I knew it was a steelhead. It was a good sized fish but once I got it near the shore I saw it was hatchery! The fish was 30" long and about 8 1/2 pounds. This was my first steelhead out of the Wallace!
