Even at the tail end ice they are rough. Are most people smoking them this time of year? Or do I have a fussy palate. Regardless, nice looking fish! Silver fish have great meat. The darker ones have more pale meat versus bright orange. Darker fish go to the in laws. Silvers stay with me lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice and orange for a darker fish. Was good table fare. Certainly not as tasty as a steelhead caught right outta superior trolling but did the trick until I get out in the boat. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C N 4 Report post Posted May 1, 2021 Rookie mistake by me here. Left my fishing glove at the Mac. Not likely getting it back but does anyone recognize this and can recommend where I can get another. It's a great glove for holding steelies, when dry it's mostly green. Checked D&R and Crappy Tire. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James01 223 Report post Posted May 3, 2021 Looks like the same sort of glove I have ... given to me by one of the steelhead association members a few years back. Perhaps find and ask one of them if they know where you can get a new glove.

Summit 34 Report post Posted May 5, 2021 What are you using this time of year for steelhead? Beads, roe, yarn, stoneflies, nymphs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summit 34 Report post Posted May 5, 2021 My wife and son really want to see some steelhead jumping. Anyone see them jumping lately? Best time of day and spot to see them in action? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted May 5, 2021 Seen a few videos of them jumping at the dam near lakehead. Friend brought his kid there to see them jump last week and they were jumping like crazy. Cant fish it though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best time of day and spot to see them in action? I'd recommend the McVicar. Park on/near McVicar St just south of court Street. Below the bridge is a nice set of falls, there's been alot of photos captured so anytime now and anytime of the day really. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
