D.Hayden Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Made it just after a storm.. water had about 2 feet visability, nice deep green color.. steelies hungry after the rain.. Over 2 days I landed 11 adults (mostly wild), a couple 1/2 pounders, a few nice browns, a few little steelies that hadn't even been to the salt yet.. fantastic.. 1st day - Drift boat, sunny - low about 34 2nd day: Wading - Started out at 20 degrees, quides were freezing solid. Stayed that way for about 2 hours. In one 50 minute period, me and my friend hooked 8 steelies. On both days they were very active, one over exhuberant fish cleared the water 9 times.

tightloop Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Dave, Check this thread out! http://www.snipershide.com/ubb/ultimatebb....ic;f=3;t=001053 That would be great but for the fact he is throwing hardware and they deserve to be caught with fly gear.....IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) 40 minutes from my house... She was 10.... I built her fly rod specifically for her small stature, and tied all the flies.... She did it all herself, cast, drift, set, and land (I netted and gave verbal guidance).... I thought I was going to have a heart-attack after she set the hook, I knew it was big.... We released the brown alive and healthy for another day.... Edited January 2, 2007 by SA Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Hayden Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Great thing about Steelhead.. It just about provides a yearround fishing season.. Jess.. do you fish at all? Steelhead fishing requires a high tolerance for pain... You need to start fly fishing for trout.. work your way up . lol Start with a 12" before you go for a 12#.
