[chrome_junky]

so here is my report from sunday i finally have a minute to post it before i head to work. ducttaped4runner and i headed to challis on sunday we got there late because we had stayed up the night before coon hunting. i was pretty determined to catch a steelhead on my fly rod so i fished the first half of the day with my fly rod i only had two hook ups with it long enough to tale it was a fish and then gone. we went all afternoon with no other hits so i took ducttaped 4runner to the fish hatchery for his first time we got there and walked up on the tanks and a big male i would say about 10 pounds started at the end of the tank and jumped 4ft in the air 4 times in a row now that was awesome we looked down in the murky water of the tank and could see huge steelhead 10 pounders 15 pounders it was pretty awesome. we moved to the ellis hole late in the afternoon around 4 pm or so and i busted out my spinning rod and a black helgie with a silver corkie and on the third cast boom nailed by nice buck. man he was not happy when he got hooked he pulled line like it was nothing after about 5 minutes ducttaped4runner managed to get the net under him. he was pretty but one of his eyes was messed up you can see it in the picture. about 20 minutes later i hooked into a hen in the exact spot that i hooked the male. she took to the air when she had relized she was hooked. for those of you who have never seen a steelhead jump its amazing. on the second jump she spit the hook went down into the water then jumped again. after that we never had anymore action. it was an amazing day sunny all day i actually got sunburned. heres a pic of the buck i landed.
