We just returned from vacation on Minnesota’s North Shore.
I always hike up the Split Rock River looking for steelhead in the Spring of the year. Our Spring trip doesn’t usually coincide with the steelhead run, but often there are a few fish still in the river.
This year I finally got a big enough net, worthy of any bona fide steelheader, and on Thursday morning, a 25”er inhaled my size 10 Prince nymph, and took it for a ride, and sometime later came to net.
My, they can spin your reel! What a thrill!
