Usually fly fish for summer run steelhead but decided to try jigs. Caught this buck fairly late around 5 pm; bottom of ninth. Fished preferred spot # 1 for a couple of hours. Finally got the chance to move down river when preferred spot # 2 opened up. Caught the buck after switching to a larger jig. Go figure. It took off downriver like a freight train heading back to the Sound. Preferred to palm extra drag; much as I do when fly fishing. Got it slowed just before it would have been in the rapids. It made a heart stopping jump and 360 roll. Patience and persistence coaxed it in for a tailing. I gave this day a three but anytime you catch a steelhead it is a FIVE STAR DAY ! Great finish to a beautiful Northwest summer day.
