4 hrs driving.
3 hrs drifting.
6 for 13.
Could of raised that ratio but didn't want to leave pool. Lol
Started with single cheese egg and stayed with it.
FF was bang on.
Once that sun got high very low and clear conditions.
Shut down FAST

I had one of the biggest surprises of my fishing career. I headed 15 min from home to a creek that I have never caught a trout in, ever. The location is about 200km by river from a great lake! First pool, first drift a PB steel head came up from the depths and nailed the fly. I barely landed it on my 5wt fly rod. I had no net, didn't bring my go pro or anything as I wasn't expecting much, if anything. Quite the day!

How can one tell if it is a resident/stocked/migratory fish? I checked the fish for a tag but didn't see anything.

If that's a resi it is a massive one. Judging by size alone, I'd say its a steelhead. Looks beat up the way a steelhead travelling kms of river would look too. Well done!!

Yea I'm thinking the same, thanks!

It's not too big to be a landlocked fish.

It was ~21" for reference. There is another creek that is close by that receives tagged fish that make the ~200km journey, its truly amazing. I will measure the water temp in the summer to see what it gets up to, it seems to be dominated by chubs in the summer.
