Anchor River Steelhead

 
Steelhead fishing the Anchor River. Swinging wet flies and drifting egg patterns just like nymphing.
I managed one fish landed, I was unable to photograph it though, as regulations specify you can't remove them from the water. I was by myself in a knee deep run and it was just too much to try and handle a rod ,a fish and a camera. You'll just have to trust me on that. I had another fish on and after a couple of head shakes and a quick run he was gone. A great weekend for sure.   
Some of my gear
