F&G releasing steelhead in the Boise River today

[nijimasu]

I had a lot of fun and met some very nice people, and caught a ton of fish. Of course, all but one of them were 10 inch trout. I only saw one other fish hooked, and it broke off. I got there just as Fish and Game was unloading them, and they told me they were almost all B runs, averaging 8 lbs. then they got mad at the guys that were fishing, even a couple hundred yards upstream. They said they'd ticket anyone who caught one before they left. No worries, the fish weren't hitting at all. Very frustrating when they're porposing all around you but not hitting. I finally got this one on a jig and bobber/shrimp. Wasn't all that shoulder to shoulder. Maybe 15 guys on 200-300 yards of river.

29 incher here.
