[email protected] Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been to one of the most popular places for steelhead 3 days in a row and hooked into one. Yesterday i was floating a drift and one came up and slammed my bobber. Snapped it in half lol. Aggressive fish for the lose..... I saw some other guy hook into one, then he got a phone call and decided to answer it instead of fighting the fish. And he lost it Other than that, I haven't had any action. I've lost alot of spinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Swap out the trebles to some single Siwash hooks on those spinners. You'll reduce the amount of snags you get and the hook up percentage is about as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneFly Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) naw i know quite a bit about steelheading... i just can't seen to catch a rainbow...i have caught salmon the last 10 years browns the past few ...but no steel Snagging doesnt count,...dude if you can catch a brown Legit,..you should catch rainbows/steelhead in your sleep. Knitting is not a bad passtime either Lol Edited November 11, 2009 by StoneFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinguypat Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 everyone at work say browns are as easy to catch as salmon but steelhead are a whole other story...one man at my work went to owen sound during aa snow storm and caught 8 steelhead last year...i'll eventually go fishing with this guy!

azebra Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I fished FrogHair flouro today for the first time, no complaints at all. i use the frog hair 3X AND 4X (8.8lb)(6.6lb) i like it, the diameter is less that then some other large brands, and i find it pretty tough, im happy with it.

Getting a salmon to hit in the river is alot harder than getting a steelhead to hit. Lining isn't getting a salmon to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAC Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 No offence FGP, but why not just keep fishing til you get one rather than posting about not getting one and opening yourself up to criticism? Niagara is a big river with a lot of fish(steelhead) and a lot of productive spots, maybe you should go try that. There's no secrets to steelheading and I've seen more helpful info thrown at you by generous folks on this board than I've seen given out to many. Your only solution is time on the water/river, not online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your only solution is time on the water/river, not online. +1 This FGP is on all the forums either whining or complaining about steelhead fishing. No one said it was easy. Go out everyday you can. Experience will be your biggest help. Getting tips on here from all these generous people is great, but now go put them to use. Talk to fisherman as well, it also helps a lot. My very first year last year, I caught two on my first trip, then didnt catch anymore in the next 25 trips maybe. It happens to all of us. But this year I have landed 10 already, in the few times I have been out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lining isn't getting a salmon to hit. not for me and why did you have to come off saying that salmon don't HIT in rivers.Salmon hit many things in rivers...like rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobascoCat Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Hit as in taking your bait, not lining or snagging. Never said salmon don't hit in rivers, I said it's harder to get them to hit versus steelhead. They aren't feeding like fall steelhead so getting them to hit will be harder. I did not say it's impossible. Edited November 13, 2009 by TobascoCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 curiosity, patience, and being humble will get you very far in your search for steel... there's some VERY knowledgeable anglers on here who will sometimes share info if you are these three things. arrogance, stubborness etc. will get you the skunk. see laz's thread and you'll see how to get help (not that you need any right?)
