elee886 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I had an hour to kill before dinner with my folks in Cobourg, so I went to check out Factory Creek. The creek was free of ice, but the water level was low considering that the mouth was wide open. Apart from one other angler, I had some feathered company. Using a yellow and orange lure of my Dad's creation (it's called the "Cheese Omelette" pattern) I made a half-dozen casts when I got a strike. The fight was about five minutes long and pretty enjoyable, especially since I hadn't caught a steelhead for about a month. Once I snapped the one quick photo, the fish was released none the worse for wear. Didn't take any effort to revive -- took off like a flash. With more warm weather for this week, I anticipate some good steelheading if the runoff doesn't muddy up the picture too much. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" see told you that pattern works" lol. I have to admit that it's not my first colour choice for a sunny day -- that would be black with orange spots. It just goes to show: always listen to your old man. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
