I misunderstood Ndogg. I thought we were going steelhead fishing. All I had was steelhead spinners, some prawn spinners, and a couple mooching rigs. I also happened to have my Konezone trout and kokanee flasher (Swag from the ORC).
When I gave up on the spinners, I tied a cut plug herring on behind my little blue Konezone and caught this guy. Just before this one, I had another break off at the boat while attempting to net it.
Hmm..I used Kokanee gear maybe I should have entered it as a Kokanee. ;) |

I call this one the "micro-nook"! :)
When Bsteves started this smallest of each species, I had to enter this one. He went for a spoon almost the same size as him. Of course, released safe n' healthy to grow to a nice 40#'s! |
