laszlo Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Up to this point, early in my Steelheading ventures, I’ve fished areas that have been recommended by others. This was the first attempt that I picked a spot that I felt would hold fish. The River isn’t necessarily proven…well at least not this area, but I had a feeling. Highdrifter (Fidel) and I decided that today was the day to give it a shot. When we arrived optimism was high which slowly faded. We worked every possible structure feeling like fish were there but no hits. It wasn’t until 3 hours later that the work paid off and we found a spot that looked prime. And it paid off… First, I caught this strong fighting male. Followed by an acrobatic little female. Sure, Fidel was feeling happy for me but felt like we needed to stick around just a bit longer. He finished the day with this beauty and we decided not to take another cast and end it on a major high. Lot's of info gathered in this new Steelheading spot which surely will lead to another successful attempt. Mission Complete. The Progression Continues...

laszlo Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Looks like I'm giving it another shot tomorrow morning for a few hours before work. It's going to be hard to top Sunday as far as the quality of fish but maybe now that I know where they're concentrated I can score better numbers. We shall see...

highdrifter Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 mmmmmk We need a "No Comment" emoticon!! That way, when there's nothing to say, you could leave a funny face instead of writting something ridiculous like.. No Comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) I would post some actual text, but I fear that it may be misconstrued as either asking for fishing spots, or posting general information about spots... For Example: Me: Hi Guys. I was fishing on a river yesterday. You: WHAT THE HELL MAN. DONT POST THAT YOU WERE ON A RIVER. OMG. And for the record, Saying "I want to have a cordial conversation with you" and then proceeding to block me is the funniest thing I've seen on the interwebs.

laszlo Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Since being on the Forum I've noticed that 99.99999% of Steelhead reports don't reveal the body of water. Am I crazy to follow code and want the same for this thread??? I thought I was being respectful to those who understand that this leads to a more unpressured fishery which results in more fish. I mean...we all love the sounds of more fish right? And to be clear, I don't think anyone has an issue with saying "A RIVER". Clearly Steelhead are caught in "A RIVER". Now I'm off to fish...which is what this is all really about. I say we keep it that way. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laszlo Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Back to work. My friend Cam and I managed a few in just a short session before work. Report to follow later tonight. Can't top my last report with Fidel but a quality fish pic on the way! Great to get out to a spot with an old friend from highschool. We've been fishing this section together since I was 16 but this is the first time for Steelhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbosh1980 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 nice job man, I'm totally jealous. I was on a river yesterday and it did not go well. Not. One. Bit. At least I didn't slip and fall in the mud again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laszlo Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Darkness was fading and good vibes were in the air. My friend Cam, from back in the day, joined me for a quick couple hours before work in a river that holds many memories between us. I submit my gear for the challenge. Ended the mild, somewhat damp morning 1 for 2. My friend Cam went 1 for 1 and caught this fresh fish full of attitude. No pics of my catch. A 3lb male that was training for the Olympics for Vertical Stiff Jumping. Another high energy fish. At least 10 fish came up for flies or something on the surface during the morning. They were coming up almost in slow motion just to say hello. I wish I had a fly rod. Oh snap...let's take it one method at a time. Till Monday...weather permitting. Now back to work.
