Caught my first steelhead today.
A 16" rainbow decided to eat my egg fly and I somehow managed to land it. I've fished for steelhead many many springs with a spinning rod and gave up probably 15 years ago, but this year I decided to go all in again and with a little help, managed to land one using an egg pattern behind a prince nymph. Couldn't be more happy. No picture because I was standing in the middle of a river. If you've been trying and failing, don't give up, just tell yourself one more cast.
