Nice fish Fishinrob. How was the water condition? I only remember being extremely muddy. Is that your invention with corky and yarn and worm? I never thought of worms having any hair. LOL. But it works so I might have to give it a try too. Thanks for sharing your equipments.

The only thing that makes it look like a silver is the dark mouth, but I'm pretty sure that looks like a steelhead

Hey Fishinrob- nice catch!! What depth was your bait? Do you know if the early bite was hot or was the later bite better? I was hoping to try it in the morning..Awesome catch buddy!!

Thats Not a steelhead! Nice try though. Thats a hen silver! They don't always turn red like the males.
