Steelhead Reports and Pics 2012-2013

[fishingmachine]

First time really steelheading. Buddy and I went to the Nooch

My first steelie was a 15lb buck. Wasnt as dark as the pic indicates the fish was colored up but I took the picture after the fish had been on ice for a while.


Found the sister too.

Alright FM, you just stick to warmwater ok? We don't need you cleaning up on the rivers as well.

Seriously, nice job man!

Im with Gringo on this. FM you catch way too many bass and now youre gonna catch way too many steelies giving me less targets. Hmmmm. Next thing you know Fishing Freak will be lake fishing. When that happens Im selling all my gear.

Hahaha. Trust me ralph. Ill probably stick to salmon and steelhead for now

I have to thank my buddy for putting me on those fish and getting me on the river. It is crazy how similar bass and steelhead act in a river system. Catching those steel reminded me of catching some columbia river smallmouth besides the fact that they were 15lbs lol.

If I remember correctly, I have seen vid and pics of you fishing for kokanee in a lake!
Ralph please list items and prices. I hope you have good stuff! lol

All kidding aside. I love seeing the new generation of fisherpeople. Its awesome seeing these folks fish like I used to. I miss my WWSC days fishing all the northern lakes and rivers. Its good to see some things never change. LOL.. Fishing is one of them.

nice fish, did they have any hooks or jigs in them haha. what were you guys fishing with and what drift did you take?

[fishingmachine]

Brat- We did the white bridge to black creek float. Caught em side drifting cheater and yarn. My buddy actually caught about an 18-20lb nate in the same little hole i pulled the buck out of on the next cast after we landed the buck. Absolutely chrome and beautiful nate released for another day. The fish had no hooks or jigs in em sorry brat lol

[Brat Bonker]

oh just making sure, lossed a couple last week that broke our leaders so just incase someone found them I would like my jig back plz haha. Bet there were hardly any boats out compared to the zoo we call weekends.

Got this sweet little hen to round up a stellar day on the Sky today, on the new rod. Man that rod is sweet, it may be my new favorite blank.

[bigskyx]

Nate, what reel is that?

[MikeLFP]

Thats a sweet rod Nate. I really like your TFO rod too. Thinking I will be getting one of those. I talked to ya on the sky wednesday. You let me hold those rods.Very nice. Going up in the morning to the sky again I think. Hopefully better fishing!

[natetreat]

Worth the trip. The intake pipe at Reiter is getting blcoked by a big fat steelie, I don't think any of the other fish can get in. There are fish in there, just gotta know what they want to bite. Both of those rods are sweet, the TFO one for the price. If you're interested in the NW Rods, tell dave Nate sent you, and he'll probably give you a sweet deal.

Guess I'm going to reiter Sunday!

[ripsomelip]

[RiverChromeGS]

When your hot, your hot. Had an epic day on the vedder today, 4 for 6, the 2 i lost were 10+, and i landed a 9lb hatchery hen i released early, released a 12-13 lb hatchery hen, released a 14 lb native buck and finally finished, since your done when you kill one, but finished with a 16.3lb hatchery buck, chrome as can be. pretty damn awesome day, only one under 10lbs. Check out these pics! WILD FISH legal out of water in B.C.
