BillM Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Nice steelies. I was wondering what happened to your posts. It looks very cold out there! Warm enough for the guides not to freeze A few degrees above zero, but with the wind it felt a lot colder then it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skud Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Great pics. You most be feeling better these days now that you are getting out on the water again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Giant chartreuse bags with a tag of pink yarn were the ticket in the first half of the day on Saturday. Cheers, Mike It's amazing how well that technique works, in off colour water. I've caught more steelies using that combo, or pink bag/chartreuse yarn in dirty water than any other tactic. Bright red/chartreuse is another winner, I know I'm not telling you anything new Mike, but, for any rookie steelheaders out there...this truly is a great off colour water tactic!

solopaddler Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Great pics. You most be feeling better these days now that you are getting out on the water again. March is always a rebirth for me. It's amazing how well that technique works, in off colour water. I've caught more steelies using that combo, or pink bag/chartreuse yarn in dirty water than any other tactic. Bright red/chartreuse is another winner, I know I'm not telling you anything new Mike, but, for any rookie steelheaders out there...this truly is a great off colour water tactic! Absolutely, there's something about the contrasting colours they like. Pink on pink or chartreuse on chartreuse doesn't work anywhere near as well.

Mike P Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Solopaddler, as much as I would like to say it is a speck, BillM is right, it is a splake from the Ottawa valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of figured. Doesn't matter really that's an amazing fish regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
