That kind of reminds me of that Blue Marlin I caught in the Vedder last July  Do you have any pics of this Steelhead?

[summersteel]

Ya, thats very unlikely..but not impossible. Do you mean a baby steelhead? If you caught a adult steelhead this early thats gotta be a record!

[fishermanphil]

I was rather surprized myself but spots all over the tail white gums and the steelhead rose on the gill plates. The fish was 10 to 12 lbs. wild and a male. Lice still on so either a very early winter or a late summer. Ya there are summers in the Vedder. And I do have a pic of a Blue Marlin but not in the Vedder.

i have heared of steelhead caught this early, not often but have seen it, mostly wild fish though

[scales]

I've seen two caught in the first week in Oct. in the last 5 years.

[d_w]

yeah, the early steelhead are most likely lost( Thompson strain fish)

[Fish Assassin]

There's no plausible reason why it couldn't be an early returning steelhead. After all, I've heard of early returning cohos to the Capilano being caught in Feb.

Stray summer run from another system.  Summer runs are notorious for straying.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or would save a thousand words.
