A Memorable Fish

After three strikes on three consecutive casts, a steelhead comes rocketing several feet out of the water. Mike Stevenson uses the butt of his Platinum seven weight to gain leverage over the fish. The drag of his Hatch is set perfectly and stops the fish on each of five screaming runs.

A beautiful ten pound sea run rainbow trout is subdued, admired, and released. What a nice way to end summer and begin fall.
