Here's looking at you! A late-season steelhead on the Upper Columbia poses for the camera, just before the jig was unhooked and he was released.

Can you tell my wife likes catching steelhead? She had a ball last weekend, especially because she landed one more fish than I did!

Just before release is a large bull trout I hooked on a steelhead jig on the Methow River.

There are still some ice fishermen on Roses Lake. There was a rainbow flipping on the ice when I snapped this shot.

One of the fish this angler is holding was wearing on the tags placed on 2,000 triploid released near the net pens on Rufus Woods Reservoir.

Here is the mixed catch made by Magnuson and Largent, which included triploids to about 5 pounds and a pair over very nice silvers.
