At the Vedder one day a few years ago I was with a well known spey caster and he said look! pointing out arround 30+ steelhead that were schooling in the canal area
![Shocked :o](http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
Not sure why so many fish were there as this was not a deep pool
(Do steel head enter the vedder in schools or could this have just been a build up of fish moving in ?)
i decided to crossed the river as there was no room on the side where we were
but when i got there I could not get a spot as there were many fly fishermen lined up
then two of them decided to take a break and asked why are you not fishing
well i did not want to step in anyones run i replied, thats ok step into our spot he said
I got into at least 8 steelhead , only landing one

(my first on the fly)
![Grin ;D](http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
most of the hook ups were head shakes with short run and spit of the fly
one took my up and down the run a bit, I thought the others guys would be mad with me but they were encouraging me.

I would say that had someone been where I was with more skill than me and the right fly they could have hooked way more fish than me that day (and landed more)

many fishermen\women dont have multiple days as once they get a hatch they want to keep it and then there day is done
15 in one day on the fly, way to go
