I think Steelheading success is defined on a personal basis. Everyone has their own criteria.
Some people find success in getting the day off and going out fishing, whether they catch a fish or not.
Others may not be happy until they limit on a river that allows 3 fish.

If I go out on any given day and catch one fish, keeper or not, I feel that it was a successful day.
Success to me is getting out to enjoy my most favorite sport.
