    Around 40 years ago, my Brother took me to Lake Wenatchee for some Sockeye. when we got set up there was only a single red hook on the line. No bait, no nothing but that single red hook. I asked him if this is really how we are going to spent our day, dragging around an empty hook, he said wait for it. Wasn't long before I was a believer. That was fun, no having to worry about bait or anything, just take the hook out of the fish and throw in back in the water.

    I live in Erie, and our steelhead look quite similar to the rainbow you caught......until they enter the streams and creeks in the fall, they turn really dark, allowing them to blend in better with their new surroundings. Once they go back to the lake in the spring, they change back to pre-spawn color.
