Fished my last steelhead trip of the season yesterday. The whole month of May was decent fishing on the AS, alot better than April. Some nice sized fish this spring. Last Sunday, I lost three of the biggest steelhead I've ever hooked in the AS. The run is now heavily on the downswing and is just about done. We did get into some really fresh fish yesterday, they're shooting right up, laying, then dropping out. The water temp was 61, but will probably drop a bit at night with the cold. Yesterday was the first time we had trouble releasing fish. This was by far my slowest season yet, but I still hooked enough fish to be happy. Here's a few fish from the last couple trips:
A dark hen full of spawn:
A nice hen:
A colored-up male:
A fresh-run, late-season hen:
5 nice steelhead from the AS:
