I caught my first Steelhead back in 2005...on my very first cast fishing for Steelhead. A very dark summer run caught in December. Float & jig. My buddy who was showing me the river hadn't even tied up yet and had his back turned to me on the bank. I told him I was hooked up and I hear a "yeah, right". Told him to turn around and look at me. He did and just shook his head in disbelief.
