Within the early morning of October sixth, Kyriacos Panayiotou of McCall waded into the cool waters of the Clearwater River, Idaho’s legendary steelhead mecca. Utilizing a two-handed spey rod, he started looking the water, hoping a steelhead would seize the fly.
The fish that grabbed his fly measured 41 inches lengthy – a full 1.75 inches longer than the earlier catch-and-release state file set in 2021.
