Low water conditions continue this week so I put the Olive wet fly on again today. Tied it on the stronger Daiichi 2151 size #2 hook. Swung it with a slow sink 2.6ips polyleader and 5' tippet of 12lb. Maxima ultragreen.

Water temp. today was 47 degrees. Nice calm day, no problem with leaves. I only had one tug mid morning. Even the pinners were having a slow day. This 27" male put up a fine fight.

Carefully revived for the release.

Nice Pics. Will be out in the AM. Will be swinging some small to mid size intruders again.

Those are some perfect looking "wild" steelhead that you've been getting out there. Good for you on your consistent successes! I could use more consistency in my steelheading.

Its been a really good Fall this year, not to take away from Pauls consistency. A good number of really nice fish. Even I have been getting a dose LOL. All said though, you da man on the bottom Paul . River that is.

line?

skagit/scandi/mid belly? thanks

I have been using my 540 grain Skagit compact head on the Echo 13' -7wt. rod. With the low water conditions I probably could have switched the head out and put on my Rage compact head for a more delicate presentation but I'm too lazy

LOL.... Same here Paul on all accounts. Put a skagit on for the first time in a few years to chuck some big Intruders. Should have changed it back a couple weeks ago to a Rage or A/F scandi. Its not pretty but it sure does get it out real easy. Heading out now.
