I started fishing 2 years ago regularly, primarily for bass. I went steelhead fishing for the first time this past weekend and landed 3 out of 6 fish I had hooked. The guide I was with told me it was pretty good considering that the average fisherman usually only lands 3 out of every 10 hooked steelheads. I wasn’t sure if he was just saying that to be kind. Is landing 3 out of 6 hooked steelhead good or does it suck?
Here in the Great Lakes area, Steelhead are one of the best fighting fish around. They rip drag, and jump very often.
Landing 3 out of 6 would be a sucessful day in my book. Hopefully you can learn from whatever mistakes you may have made in losing the other 3.
Now enjoy a good fish dinner!!

Depending on the style of fishing used, that is pretty good.

That is good depending on where you are fishing for steelhead some fisherman go out and not get one fish or a strike at all.It is just a matter of the area some hold fish but the fish are so wary e.t.c. or just overly fished.

You did good bud. It’s rare to land 50% when fishing steelies. They’re naughty! That’s why the guide told you the truth. He’s in the ballpark with 3/10.
