cjgraham Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Well its officially summer and the steelies are still going strong. Most people have put away the 12ft+ rods, but mine is still in my trunk. My buddy and I got out to the St Marys river a few days this week, and here are come pics. Its nice having a world class fishery in my downtown, and by the looks of it its better then ever. Thanks to the LSSU Atlantic Salmon stocking program the Atlantic fishery is coming on strong. I've already caught two this year the earliest being the middle of May, and the run doesn't even start till July. I believe they stock close to 300,000 each year (don't quote me on that) but it is really showing . Also catching the odd laker which is always a nice surprise. The beauty of the St Marys rapids is the ice cold water flowing out the gates from the bottom of Lake Superior. Which makes this an awesome year round fishery. If you ever get the chance get up to the Soo. The rapids are no secret so I don't mind showing my catches here. Won't be so informative north of the Soo Edited June 23, 2011 by cjgraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be around the rapids tomorrow. If you see me say hey. About the atlantics, its more like 20,000. It is pretty cool having some around throughout the entire year. I have high hopes for this years run also. Word is Detour has them right now..... TDunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie_james_c Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Me and CJGraham went out tonight, went 5 and 3 on the Steel. All of them were shakers caught on Cleo's or bouncing dew worms Like I told Chris as I stumbled and fumbled over the slimy rocks "Well atleast they fight better than Walleye" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Don't need to go to the Soo. There are still a few fishies hanging around down here, if you know where to look, for those willing to brave the heat and the mosquitoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
