Saving Wild Steelhead.....

...one fish at a time!
This fish took hard and fought well. It had the strength to break off a bobber and jig anglers gear sometime before it ate Kevins swung fly. Who knows how long it had been swimming around with a jig stuck in the corner of its mouth, dragging a bobber in tow with 20 feet of line after that. During the fight it became wrapped up pretty good in this mess and thankfully due to some quick and steady hands it was free of this tangle.

Enjoy the commotion:
