Nice fish dude, I'm still yet to get my first one on hardware.

The guys using lures have been doing well in these clear conditions.

I literally just sent my stradic in for repair today, now all I've been thinking of is mepps and little raps in big pools.

Anyone ever throw hardware with a pin?

Sick fish btw. The last one looks like a fresh coho!?? No?

I don't have much experience with rapalas for steelhead, but the Blue Taildancer-5 was a real goodie last fall. I might have to go shopping again :blink:/>

Using spinners has been great this weekend in the clear water. Picked up a bunch from dollerama and they worked wonders =)

I was throwing flatfish with my pin today in the low water for the first time, it's pretty easy to get used to with the right drift. Got 2 today here's the bigger of the 2 minus the background

Yup always keep a couple spinners on me. It's tougher retrieving a spinner on a CP with an 11ft noodle. But I imagine its a lot more feasible on something shorter and stiffer
