Paulus Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Sorry to piggy-back off your post JDMLS, but I had to. It turns out that I had planned to hit the same trib as those young ruffians today ... Knowing that steelhead can get pret..ty..spooky in clear water, especially after they've been stung repeatedly ... I didn't expect quite the blast that Silvio et al. had this weekend. Good thing, too! The fish that I saw were extremely spooky and skittish. Generally they avoided the approach even of just the float coming down the river... and given the slight 50km/h BREEZE that we had today, fishing with small floats just wasn't in the cards. However, a wily old veteran like me still has a few tricks up his sleeve. The best trick: perseverance. If you know that fish are around, keep looking for the one that doesn't know you're there. Another trick, jigs from a friend of mine. They work! I didn't get many, but I'm happy with my day . The best moment came when I was cursing the wind for blowing loops of line off my reel (yet again ), only to notice that my float had just been viciously tugged 6" underwater. Despite a frenetic fit of fumbling, I was able to get him nicely hooked, and eventually 10 minutes later, get him landed. Anyway, I am heading out again tomorrow, so it's bed time now.... here are the pics: Cheers! p.- Edited November 11, 2008 by Paulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be truthful, only a couple of those fish came from that pool. The others came from some other spots on my river. By association it's "my" pool you fished only because it's "my" river - but you're welcome to fish there any time p.- Edited November 12, 2008 by Paulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they are pretty dismally low here too. I was just lucky to find a few that hadn't been poked or spooked yet. It was hard work, and co-o-o-o-old... p.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
