Very little rain in the morning. Started fishing around 8 am and saw guys with steelhead on the hook. 5 casts in, boom goes the dynamite. This is my first steelhead, and first official catch off the snohomish systems. Fish were biting now and then, no one caught limit, and I left at 11. Damn, I've caught pinks, and coho, but nothing yet that ran or fought like this beauty. 15#s, making a cure with her eggs. Ran a 1/8oz blood red jig under a float, about 6' between hook and float. She hit about 40 feet from the bank. Crack Rock.
