Launched the boat in Monroe at the Lewis street launch, and fished down river. Free Drifted most of the day and spent a half hour back trolling and caught a nice 24" dolly. Fished with my wife and kids and had a great day on the river that was topped off with an awesome 15 LB Hatchery Summer Steelhead that my wife hooked. Talked to ten or so boats and only heard of one other fish, reports have been slow.

Great fish and can't beat that smile!! Looks like a chinook to me though but a beauty anyway!

Definitely a steelhead. Look at the tail and the spots are too small. I can't see the gums, but I bet they're white.
Nice catch, I'm envious.

That's a hog !!!! I'm not the best at identifying fish but looks like a steel to me. Kings have dark gums and pointy nose.

I am showing this to my fiancé as proof that women are also destined to fish. Great catch, and great photo. And confirmed, a beautiful steelhead.

I promise that it is a steelhead, no black in the mouth, all chrome, and in my mind the easiest way to tell is the square or straight tail (not v shaped like a salmon) that has spots all over. I also agree that I am luck to have a wife that enjoys fishing s well.
