A Try for Tucannon Steelhead...

...but all I found were trout. With some rain the last couple weeks, I thought it was worth giving the Tucannon a try to see if any steelhead had wandered upstream. The changeover to the new endemic hatchery stock is supposed to be up and going after a couple years with almost no steelhead other than the native fish, so it was worth a shot.

Fished a familiar stretch where we have found some steelhead before, but didn't find anything large. Found enough trout to keep things interesting, a couple reasonably nice ones. Saw one big, red king go swimming by. A nice, rainy morning to spend a couple hours on the river. Maybe next time there will be steel.
