SO I decided to make the trip afterall yesterday morning after work, got to my destination around 10am saw a bit of ice around and still relatively high water with some visibily tho so i wasnt too dissapointed. To sum it up in short the fishing got better as the day went on, I even managed the smallest coho full of loose roe, it was an awesome day I went 5 for 9, froze my feet and hands off a little but caught some great fish. It's amazing how much less effort the steelhead put in when the water becomes this cold, mostly headshakes. To any of you who dont believe me, come and check my cellphone LMAO. All of my fish were caught on roe but I saw alot of guys tossing the pink worms around without any luck that I saw. All in all great day wish I had the energy to get out there today too,might have been even better. Those damn spinning reels are annoying me too many weak hooksets where the fish came off after a few seconds due to too much slack!

Thank you and I am from the gta area, going to fish the west end. I would figure it would be better now but we did get like 40mm of precip in the last week

lol I hate those debating situations, I think I will tho just wont forget I tried going last spring to the same trib at least 3 different times, and it was blown everytime, we had lots of snow tho, wish me luck, and damn I wish I had a camera, I will post a report when i get back, gotta love this time of year when the salmon snagging and crowds die right off, nothing like fall/winter steelheading!!!

Hey all, been reading the posts here for a while now, finally decided to join. Love the site and the fish porn:) I'm no newbie to fishing but like women, it is very unpredictable;)... I was thinking I know we got alot of rain on saturday and the temps are pretty cold. But i have the day off tomorrow and was thinking of hitting a local trib, it is pretty resiliant to rain unless its the spring. I was wondering if anyone has seen the water levels as of late or if everything is blown still? Also from experience I dont recall the water freezing up after only a few short days of cold temps, am i wrong? Conditions look perfect tomorrow, besides the ice on my guides and floats. If the water is anything but blown im sure It will be better than it has been. Crazy inconsistent weather this fall for the steelhead, but its looking alot more promising as the season slowly comes to an end, I have a serious itch to go before it freezes up. Any advice would be much appreciated since I dont drive and have to take the go train everywhere. Thanks in advance everyone, looking forward to my time at OFC.
