Winter Steelhead Bead Fishing

[@williamcooke6056]

Dragging wild steelhead onto rocks is not a good plan. If they thrash, they can easily hemorrhage, and you won't know. Studies have proven this. That fish was probably OK, but if it had struggled more when it was vulnerable lying on the rocks, it could have injured itself fatally. Something to keep in mind. Better to lose a fish you will end up releasing, then to killing just for a video. That being said, beautiful fish, good job!

Yeah jamming a hook into their jaw and dragging them through current is any better?

It does. Ive stood on one of those rocks in the middle below a few times when Mr. Fast used to guide there.
