Steelhead transition – Pic of the Day

December 4, 2012/in Picture of the Day, steelhead fishing/by Jon Ray

With the start of December we are starting to get into the big bad winter bucks.  The time of year where we have a chance at some of the biggest steelhead of the year.  Winter bucks will start to display red checks and strips, and with hopefully some winter back drop.  Photo’s can just jump out.  With a hazy,wet, damp, blur your lens kind of day yesterday, this photo turned out best if we made it black and white.  Winston from Ontario, Canada with a great fish that ran us all over the river.
