Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
Never fished for Steelhead before. Where would be a good place and time for a Novice from the East Coast to start? I live in Silverdale, WA. Any places near here that I could be productive?

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
It'll be a while yet guys. We're still killing limits of chrome silvers! Take it as it comes. We're going to put a MASSACRE on those steelhead next month.

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
haha I live in silverdale too and the best place to fish for them is over 1 1/2 hours away, closest place that has any hatchery steelhead is just over an hour. PM me and I will let you know where I fish at.cjjohnston14 wrote:Never fished for Steelhead before. Where would be a good place and time for a Novice from the East Coast to start?

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
im hoping we will see better numbers this year! Last year was a bit tougher season, but every year is different, and things seem to always be better on pink years.

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
Maybe you should ask Santa Claus for a pair of waders this year?
At least you'd look like a guide then

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
I spend my money on stuff that helps me catch fish... good hooks, floats, rods/reels. No 700$ pair of Simms is gonna help me on the river. Besides, neoprene is Warm in the winterBootslayer wrote:Maybe you should ask Santa Claus for a pair of waders this year?

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
I can guarantee most Simms are warmer than neoprene. More durable, easier to move around in and made in the USA.fishenfreak wrote:I spend my money on stuff that helps me catch fish... good hooks, floats, rods/reels.

st brother gave me. But
my hodgmens work just fine.you can buy alot of gear with 5 to 7 hundred dollars blown on waders.
Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
I'm thinking of getting neoprene waders for this season, by the time i put 3-4 layers on to stay warm in my current waders I feel like that kid in the Christmas Story and can't move very well. Hoping to cut it to 1-2 layers with neoprene and move easier.
Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
Being fat works for me . I am built for cold weather and wear my breathables all season. Maybe if its below freezing I will put on some long johns.

Looks like we are going to get some rain. I'm hoping it will bring up the water level so I can do some fishing Fri.

Re: Ready for Winter Steelhead?
I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I have owned other waders but my Simms waders are put together a lot better then any other manufacture and will last a longer.
