Description	I went up the North Fork of the Stilly fishing for Steelhead with a friend but had no luck. I did catch this little cutthroat on my pink corkie though. I had the line in the water and had taken off one of my shoes to get some rocks out when he hit the line, jumping and splashing around. I landed him and tried to wash the mud off his face for a picture, but he slipped through my fingers and back into the water before we got a picture of him. He was a really pretty fish though, lots of big spots around his back.
