Yesterday, John and his buddy Nate went fishing at the Brule River in Wisconsin, and John caught his first steelhead--24" long! (For you non-fish people out there, a steelhead is a strain of rainbow trout that is naturalized to Lake Superior, feeds in the lake, spawns in the rivers, and grows quite large.)
Neither John or Nate had a camera with them, but here's what a 24" steelhead would look like:

He caught it on a fly he tied himself, and after landing it, he released it back into the river. Way to go, John!

What?? No camera???? Congrats, John; that catch must have been pretty thrilling! What kind of fly were you using?

I'm assuming they are hard to catch, unlike sunnies, perches, and rockbass at the Lake?
