What weight rod was you using?

[@FlyFishDan]

I was using my SRC6 (6wt) ultra fast action I built for the local Sea-run Cutthroat - I was impressed with its handling power!

[@RidgidRon]

Great job nice fish. Next time don’t show it dying and getting cooked.

[@FlyFishDan]

Here’s some background on hatchery fish: The person I was fishing with is responsible for managing the steelhead population. Hatchery fish are specifically bred for recreational anglers and are intended to be removed from the ecosystem. This management strategy helps prevent them from interbreeding with the dwindling wild steelhead population, preserving the genetic integrity of the wild fish. This is why we practiced a "catch and cook" on this trip

Allison. It’s a natural thing to do unlike catch and release. 👍🇦🇺😍🎣

Hey Allison. Civilizations throughout the ages have eaten fish. You should watch something else if you're offended. Maybe you can even go murder some tofu cakes while doing it!
