Steelhead

"It's a hatchery fish."
"It is fin clipped."
"It's good to get it out of the gene pool, so say the guides."
"I guess it doesn't hurt to keep one once in a while."

These are all comments that my husband muttered as he cleaned this gorgeous catch. He doesn't like to eat fish, but this steelhead made a fabulous dinner tonight!

Yummmm! I, on the other hand, have no qualms about keeping my catch to eat for dinner. :o) That's the whole point in my mind. Denis and I are getting the opportunity to stay overnight in a cabin on the Rogue River this weekend. The owner of the cabin will be giving us a fly fishing lesson and feed us dinner. We won it at a benefit auction last winter. :o)

Bob,

Where'd you nab this one? Have you had a chance to get over to the Trask or Nestucca?
