Aaahh...the North Umpqua, I presume.
Some of the best pics I have seen of steelies, come from there. Have a friend that caught a 22+lbr on the N. Umpqua.
Great pics and thanks for sharing a bit of why I moved to Oregon 40yrs ago....ain't no fish like that, nor background scenery as beautiful, in my previous home state of Kansas/KCMo area.
How were you fishing, gear-wise ? Drifting weighted big-ish soft beads with an 8wt fly rod has been working down here on the Rogue. As has Bobber-doggin with bait, spinners, and wet flies or beads. Heard of one that was pulling small Flatfish plugs, and another that was side-drifting worms from the bank. But that was before we had all this rain lately. Bank full and then some !
Always interesting to check out the various methods used. TIA for letting us know how you were rigged up.
We caught them on #16 soft beads in pink and creamsicle and on fresh roe sidedrifting my buddy and I hooked 26 fish and landed 17 in two days have not had a two day trip like that since 2011 when we hooked 28 and landed 16 lots of fun and really good memories were made

Thanks for the info. #16's huh ? That's fairly big...cool.
Glad that you had such a great trip !
Havenโt seen steelies like that in awhile ๐๐๐๐. They appear to be wild also. So extra nice Congratulations
