solopaddler Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Tis the season folks Headed north with a friend yesterday to fish again and man was it tough compared to last weekend! Right now with the rivers so low it really is a game of timing, if you don't get any rain it's going to be tough sledding. Weather forecast was originally calling for a bit of rain overnight and some more during the day yesterday. As it turns out we didn't get any rain and had to scratch and claw for the few fish we got... Still, a great day to be out and the few fish that were caught were full of fight. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Some nice fish there Mike, considering the tough conditions. I heard the long range forecast is calling for less precip than normal for the rest of the fall, so things may not get any better in the near future. Course, you being a weather dude, you already knew that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 so 6 pictures 2 different fish? Nate What difference does it make kid? If you're that concerned about it we landed a grand total of 5 fish between the two of us, rolled a couple more and hooked and lost a couple more one of which was quite large and snapped my tippet... Those were the pic's that happened to be on my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course, you being a weather dude, you already knew that Thanks Lew, and yeah you're right about the weather, it doesn't look too promising long range. I'm headed back this weekend for an overnighter with a good friend and his two young boys aged 8 and 9. He's been trying to pin me down for a while now to help him take his boys steelheading and this is the weekend. Based on how things went yesterday I think it'll be a blue eyed miracle if the boys get anything, but we'll giver 'er a go and you never know....

blaque Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Love the look of a shiny, midsize female. Just georgeous fish. They almost look like they belong in saltwater.

Jay T Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Beauty fish there Solopaddler. All these posts you have been doing really makes me want to get back into river fishing. I used to do a lot but don't know of to many places around me that I can access without getting into trouble with land owners, since I moved in May. I also have a hard time juggling hunting and fishing this time of year, I usually choose hunting. Good luck this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow nut Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) WAIT I THOUGHT NATE WAS A EXPERT WITH TONS OF HOURS ON THE WATER he sould be posting or CATCHING fish right now, I know the real steelheaders are.... LETS SEE YOUR PICS just my 2cents worth Dave Most steelhead fishermen are a slightly strange breed. They are highly protective of their fishery which is a limited and increasingly stressed resource. That's why you'll find 99% won't post on internet boards.... Here in Ontario rivers are getting increasingly crowded. Part of the solution to spread the numbers around would be for more Ontario fishermen to utilize the US fishery. Outstanding fishing in New York State and not such a long drive. Some of the bigger Erie tribs are amazing. What I'll do next week is get together a detailed summary of access to the better NY rivers with clear directions from Ontario. I'll also give the scoop on licenses and directions to some but not all the best access points. You'll have to work a bit of it out for yourselves I would encourage local fishermen to check out some of these rivers. I'm here to share which is what these boards should be all about and forgive me in advance if I don't post details of a couple of my favorite on my doorstep rivers Edited October 20, 2007 by Rainbow nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
