Scott Armstrong ,of Minoa, holds up an impressive 32-inch steelhead he caught while on a guided float trip recently on the Salmon River with Cold Steel Sportfishing guide Tom Burke in Pulaski. He released the fish after this photo was taken.

Also on the trip was Armstrong’s friend, George Allen, of Oswego.

“With falling temps into the teens, high winds, lake effect snow, and rising cold river water, it made for a challeng´ing day of extreme weather fishing,” Allen said.

“It was Scott’s first steelhead trip ever. We got four fish — he beat me three to one. I was happy with my one, under those conditions.”

Here's a YouTube video of Armstrong landing the fish.

That's impressive! Hooking into a steelhead is one thing. Actually landing one is quite another!
