Define steelhead
A friend of ours was in town for an extended weekend and wanted to do some fishing. He was at somewhat of a loss with the current weather we are having. Today we decided to throw caution to the wind and go fishing. Boy were those forcasters wrong!!!! [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img]
Snowy, but not a problem to drive.
We hit a couple of our favorite spots and found some willing takers. We were drifting most of the day with some success coming with the jigs too. I would post a report on how to jig fish the way we were doing today, but don't want the hassle it brings with certain members. I would however, be VERY VERY open to helping out with any tips or rigging info that you might have questions about. Please email me if you have some questions.
Bobby
Steve
Happy fishing, and set the hook hard!

Re: Define steelhead
You haven't fooled me Bobby. Nice try. That second picture is just a oil painting with Bobby superimposed in front of it. That is way to perfect to be a fishing hole. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Re: Define steelhead
Nice fish guys.  The drive over this week was interesting to say the least, but the fishing was fun in the snow. Grant, nice seeing you at the take out Thursday.

Re: Define steelhead
Nice fish guys. It was but a few months ago that I rigged up your friend Steve with a red jig and he plucked his first summer ever out of the same spot. Say Hi to him will ya.

Re: Define steelhead
Dudes,
Very nice fish and scenery... Man, this has been a great winter so far with the weather as far as I am concerned...
You guys are true Steelie slayers
Bobby - I swear that looks like a spot near Elk Creek...If it is, it is great to see fish up to there already...

That looks like an awesome little river. I am still on my quest for my first steelhead. If you have any recommendations on where to go please let me know. I am 17 and have been steelheading for 3 years

Re: Define steelhead
You both must have hot oil for blood for standing out there in the snow with just a sweatshirt on!! :shocked:
Looks like you hiked in to that spot. I would have expected poly-liner under polarfleece under gortex winter armor.
Or did you carry a propane heater with you??? [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]
Nice fish. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Hmmm. Gets me thinking. Probably drove past that spot thinking there were greener pastures down river. Thanks for the report.

We were not at that spot long. We needed our big coats, it was somewhere around 20+ there. Man was it cold.

Re: Define steelhead
Beautiful - both fish and scenery. Despite the snow, it looks warmer than the Sandy was yesterday. It's pretty odd when 35º water seems warm in comparison to the air!
