ORIGINAL: Deerslayir Have been quite a few steelhead caught out in open water the last few weeks. Within the last week there has been a 16#5oz and a 17# steelie caught out deep. I would say overall the average size is 8 lbs with many over into the 10 to 11 lb range already. I personally have caught alot of drop back fish from lake this season and so have many others. Many big fish around it seems. I predict BIG fish this fall, better beef up your terminal for fall run boys
