kemper Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 ask CC, it seems that if there is a chromie to be caught, well its probably on the end of his line! most steelheaders go home when the river freezes, CC just knocks a hole in the ice and keeps fishin.

GbayGiant Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I use to go to a river mouth as far out on the ice as I could to get to the open water, beach cast a egg sinker and floating roe bag about 12" of bottom. Worked good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFinder Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 yes, in the eastern "ditches" the creeks are really small and there is almost no flow to the water so it freezes over pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
