Next time I see someone land a steelhead, I'll tell them they have a nice cock. With a little luck, it'll become a trend and steelheaders all over the province will be complimenting each other on their cocks and winking.

It's the non-native meat hunters who have damaged the fishery there. A couple natives practicing their rights isn't a big deal.

The natives here know they can get away with it. It wasn't luck.

They don't all change color at the same time, but they start getting lighter once they're done spawning.

I personally wouldn't recommend a spinning reel for float fishing on rivers, but it'll still work fine in a lot of situations.

There are salmon that run in the spring here in Southern Ontario, but it's incredibly rare. A lot of experienced fisherman here aren't even aware that it happens.

The purpose of having a closed season for fish is to protect them from angling during part of the year.

Lures are different than bait. In my experience, you don't have to carry a bunch of different sizes for steelhead as they tend to prefer a certain size. With some experimenting, you can probably figure out what size works. For color, anything with a silver flash generally works. Combinations...

No one here enjoys catching suckers?

That's what happens when you fish for steelhead for too long.

I use to see people use them before beads took over. This was a few years ago.

remy?

Looking back I've never really had a problem with other people except for this one time when a couple guys took my spot while I was fighting a fish. I was kind of pissed that they took my spot like that without even asking, but mostly at the reality that steelheaders act so desperate for the...
