Hi all,

Caught this guy on the middle Rogue by Hellsgate Canyon. This was my first time out after getting waders in the Winter and maybe third time out ever. I travel and work on hydro dams and all my coworkers fly fish so I've been trying to get into it through YouTube and Tom Rosenbauer books. Is this one of the half-pounders that live in the Rogue?

I was so excited I snapped a quick shot with the fly still in but I got it out (barbless) fast and he swam away pretty damn strong after I kept him in the net for a spell. I was so convinced my first few outings would be casting practice I hadn't looked a ton into how to play a fish or best release practice but I hope I did alright.

Thanks for all the info and knowledge in this community. Excited to get back out!
