Fishing the creeks

[Trevald]

I feel like I am searching for the pot of gold and the end of the rainbow but instead I am looking for the rainbow... Anyone with any advice about where I should be looking please help.

From what I hear if you do enough leg work in the "tribs" who could find them, but that might be for steelhead....

What area or river are you planning to go to?

If you go through the Steelhead and Salmon Fishing forum and read the 100's of Topics and Posts, that should get you started.

It's free, good info and there for the taking.


Good Luck!

You'll need polarized sunglasses if you don't already have them. I have a $10 pair from Walmart. They cut off a lot of glare off the water's surface and let you see further in the water.

Look for the outline of their body against the bottom of the river. Look for their tail waving in the current. Sometimes they're almost impossible to spot because they blend in so well.

If you find a deep pool in the river, they might be in there even though you can't spot them. Try a few drifts of a worm under a bobber, and make the set-up long enough so that it can flow close to the bottom. If nothing then move on.

I just started this year, and it was a lot of walking before I could find fish-able fish. By fish-able fish I mean fish that other people aren't already fishing for, those tend to be too spooked to bite.

I hope this helps a bit...

What does a play from the 1950s about waiting for a man to arrive have to do with fishing?

Little closer read brother "N"

The culture of these fora are often silent on that matter (ie. info...)
Less so here though
