I went out for steelies this morning. I fished my favourite circuit from first light until 10am. Visibility was around 5 feet of vis and low water conditions. Perfect swing water. First run i get to had no one on it which was good to see. I started fishing with my singlehand spey 7wt set up. (Opst heads are wicked and dont be shy about giving them a try. Lots of fun.) I didnt get any fish on the fly, next up i tried my centerpin set up with a 1/16oz black and purple jig. No luck on that either. Put on a bcsteel spoon on my spinning rod and on my 2nd swing with that i get a train wreck of a take. Very jarring take. This was a good fight. Got it to hand after solid 5 minute fight. Really decent fish, released after a brief photo op. I took a small break to let the pool rest for a few minutes then casted again in the same exact spot swung in the exact same way, and i got another hit. A bit spunkier but smaller, slid it to hand and released. Again i rested the run then made a few more swings nothing so i circled back up to the top of the run and began going over the run again from the head to the tail. I got back down to the tailout again and boom, hook up again, the fish comes out of the water then straight towards me , and got slacklined... Ohh well thats how it goes. I finished fishing the next few pockets on my circuit with no luck but the sun was shining and my music was playing so it was great, i really enjoyed myself out there this morning. Didn't get encroached on or see too many people out there. Ended the morning at 10:00 am with 2/3 on steelhead.

Thanks jonb for the excellent report. Where were you in BC? Have you ever fished the lakes and inlets on the sunshine coast?

This was in the lower mainland, and yes Ive fished the salt, rivers/creeks, lakes and inlets on the sunshine coast. Good fishing in that area.
