Hi everyone,

I thought it only fitting that Brian Hudson brought home the only steelhead from today's fish-a-long because of all the work he put into the planning, scouting, and mapping for today's event. Here are a few photos of the big prize that he landed on the Siletz about a mile above Moonshine Park. It was cold this morning, 26 degrees by my pickup's temp. gauge, but Brian's rapidly beating heart soon warmed up the river. We had not been fishing but a few minutes when he tied into the prize catch. At first he thought that he had gotten hung up on a rock but the rock started moving toward him. He played it for about 10 to 12 minutes until it got tired and then expertly brought it to shore with the assistance of his trusty sidekick, Frank. He used sand-shrimp with an orange corky as bait. My congratulations to Brian and I hope you enjoy the photos.
