Damn i lost the lead, vote for me!! :)
i was actually quite surprised that my picture turned out that good, i used a simple point and shoot olympus stylus 7000 but it seems to take nice close up shots.  I think i owe my buddy for his crazy fly tying skills.

thanks for the votes everyone.

For what its worth, I thing your photo is fantastic and would be my personal choice if I'm completely honest.  Fish photos where the fish is covered with a thin layer of water often turn out great.

You forgot to mention that you only use low impact winter techniques too.

Nice to be chosen again, thanks to the FWR staff.

The photo was taken by PGK in the Ancor River estuary, located about half an hours drive north of Homer Alaska.

I got the chrome little steelie on the incoming tide about 200 meters from the ocean. It was sitting in a slack water pool with some very chrome coho for neighbors. The fly pictured is always fished stripped and is deadly in mixed stock steelie/coho fisheries.

The fish put up an excellent battle and is by far the brightest steelhead I have ever seen. It was one of the biggest highlights of my long roadtrip throughout AK this September.

Nice work Pat!  I voted for ya!  Sounds like an awesome trip.

I too should give credit - the fish in my photo was caught by Stratocaster with his spinning rod.  This was one of the nicest coho we landed this season.  And thanks to the FWR staff for the nomination... :)

 I will gladly put up a dozen of my spinners. Just go to my thread in the Buy and Sell and pick out a dozen and let me know where you want them sent to.

I'd be down to put out a dozen roe flies too if people were interested.
