If I were you. I'd wish it were a steelie also but I've caught a lot of dollies there. Lot's of headshakes and no running. Sounds like a big guy though. I've been moving them to my popper!
Leland.
Just to clarify: were you moving the steelies or the bullies to your popper?
Tom
Two buddies and I floated Marblemount to Rockport on Sunday. I caught 1 small rainbow of 12" (smolt?). No one else landed anything.
I was fishing a juicy run about 1/2 mile below Swift Creek on the right (big
gravel bar). Hooked a fish, felt about 3 or 4 head shakes, set up on the
fish, and broke the line immediately. I like to think that this fish was a
big steelhead, maybe not. The fish never even ran. I broke him before he
really reacted.
My fault. I'm an idiot. My 12 lb. tippet must have been weak from bumping
the bottom through the whole run. Very amateur. I know Better!!!!!
