Steelhead!

[dcrisci]

Has anyone seen any steelhead running in the creeks yet? I have yet to see one at bronte, maybe im not looking hard enough

 

[float^drifter]

its hard to see bows in rivers they tend to blend in really good, unless there is a whole school of them moving up.Small numbers are in but nothing big yet.I start getting them in mid november october if i get a lucky :smile:

I really want to catch my first legit steelhead! all the trout i have caught on the fly have been resi's

I've seen a few here and there mixed in with salmon. But I wouldn't worry about it now.

You'll have all of November to catch Steelhead :wink:

Hmmm, steelhead can put a lot of energy into their fights. Good reminder for the rest of the season.

I was out on the Notty today. Had what some folks call a 'shaker' (about 2 lb) on. Others had caught some fish. I'm fairly new at the game so my 'batting average" is low.

I hope that's not giving away too much info per board guidelines. I'm not sure what the guideline are here but some are quite strict (secretive, even)

as long as u don't post exact spot your fishing your good. u can say name of a river but not the spot u were fishing. rules are right above the page feel free to read them :wink:

 

[Knuguy]

Aha, hidden in plain sight! Just read the rules---what's a Tier 1 or Tier 2 report, or is that something else obvious that I've missed?

Nice small Chinook , not a Steelhead . Just an observation .

 

[NOTTA STEELER]

Thornbury was HOT last week and the Notty is just starting to see Steelies showing up south of Angus .
Late October and November are hottest months for Notty Steelhead action and as long as the ice stays off the river , I've fished right through January .
Remember that the area from Nicolston dam ( Hwy 89 ) to the mouth of the Pine in Angus is " catch and release only " regarding Steelhead .
