Most of the fish we land every fall average 4-7 pounds and are considered "a" run Columbia basin Steelhead. Each season we land some in the larger class. This one of Bob Alstons is about as large as we see here. This one has a great story behind it with more photos. I would share them here but this fish was landed with Brian Silvey as the guide on one of our guided camp trips! Every fall I head to guide with Brian for a month and later he comes over to guide with me for a month. Check out the rest of the story over at Brians blog:
