Jeff Bryant shows off a nice triploid rainbow he caught on his favorite lure, the Mack's Lure Double Whammy. Nice day for mid-Oct!

I like to cast a fly on Rufus Woods, and this was the first fish I hooked in mid-Oct. The triploid rainbow smacked a bead-head Wooly Bugger.

Here I am releasing a nice wild steelhead that my niece Ellie Tucker landed on the upper Columbia. It was a great fight and she was happy to let it go.

I am scooping a big king salmon that Chad Tucker battled on this steelhead rig on the upper Columbia. It happens this time of year.

Ellie celebrates with a thumbs up after releasing the wild fish. We were at the bottom end of out last drift when she hooked the big hen.

This is big, wild steelhead that posed for a photo before being released. It hit a shrimp-baited Mack's Lure Rock Dancer jig on the upper Columbia River. Fishing is open now above Wells Dam on the Columbia, and the Okanogan River. See the emergency rules for details.

This is my first keeper steelhead of the season, and it gave me quite a tussel. I was very impressed with the new Abu Garcia Soron reel, that is built for the use of super lines. Which means it's idea for bobber fishing!

Fall fishing can be excellent on Fish Lake. There is an abundance of small rainbow like this available, but also the chance at a large triploid or brown trout.
