BenjisGrandpa 30 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Well folks, it's getting to that time of year again. I can't wait for steelhead to start running, me and my old knees can't go to where I used to be able to go... So does anyone have a couple secret honey holes or techniques that you would care to share with an old timer like myself? You can pm if you would rather not let anyone else know.

toma-hawk 44 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Early season you and Benji could go to silver Ilet and cast spoons ,white shad raps from shore all along the mouth of sibley creek . Bring your waders and wade in a little , be easy on your knees. Good luck Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyle Reiner 174 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 What Rick said! That or the mouth of the MacKenzie. Steelheaders around these parts are very tight lipped, protective, and as willing to share spots as a hipster is to shave his beard. If you want real entertainment, keep an eye on the board, it's 'bout to get real spicy up in hurrr! 3 Quote Prostaff For Lowrance Canada Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walleyslayer 3 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 The Mac neebing and mcvickar have easy access points throughout the rivers. It seems like almost every river holds them so just try them. I find that roe, yarn flies, stone flies and worms work best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tronnyd88 25 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 got a little off topic with the eticate. just lookin to get outta the city since the rivers in town are the only ones ive tried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted March 30, 2015 I've fished lots of rivers out of town. The rivers in town can give you just as many fish on some days. I haven't left town for a few years now. Others are right though. The board can get crazy in regards to steelhead. Once the ball starts rolling I stop posting and just go fish.

Guest TheRealSaltwaterFisherman Report post Posted March 31, 2015 You should have seen the steelhead I reeled in 3 fortnights ago. I was fishin out near Japan and I heard this rattle under my dinghy and is red laser flashing around. Next thing I see is a Japanese robot shark experiment created with an actually steel head with a laser attached to it. I dive in to grab this thing and pull it onto my dinghy and that thing would not quit. After about 32 hours of underwater tussling the managed to drag it back to land. Long story short, the Japanese secret service is after me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
