Rich Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 10 days left in the season to enjoy the inland versions of the salmonoids everyone is after! I much prefer a quiet afternoon on a lazy river, looking for residents than the shoulder-to-shoulder, litter, snag, argument, rudeness fest that is steelheading. Anywho, if you're gonna go after the inland fish.. don't forget the white spinnerbaits. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Methinks I've seen that background many times over in your reports this time of year Nice work, once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Beautiful brownie Rich!!! Good point on lure choice, and, thinking outside the box. As far as your steelheading comment...that is why I stay away from most of the more popular locations. Rather hook half (or less) as many fish, but, enjoy it 10 X more. For that matter, I find myself fishing for them off certain less crowded piers as much as I do in rivers the last ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Honestly, my arsenal for browns has changed so drastically since I started as a kid. My go-to used to be a 1/8th oz 5 diamonds spoon. I don't even own one anymore. Small spinnerbaits (Mini-Kings), 2 1/2" jerkbaits (Rebels), Crappie senkos, Gulp Minnows, gobies & angleworms (for specks) and 3" white grubs are my whole tackle supply for trout now. Jerkbaits are my fav way to fish 'em, more of a summertime bait though. This time of year the quick moving baits in the runs seems to be the most productive method. And if nothing works, drift a live chub minnow under a float in the deep holes, hold on tight. Thanks for the comments everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I would have NEVER though about using a spinnerbait on trout!!!! I was thinking the same thing but they hit big rabbit strip streamers which have the same pulsing action so I it makes sense (I'm a non-elitist anything goes including flies fisherman ). Will have to get some of the smaller ones and give em a go. Nice fish and a nice looking spot Rich As for steelhead - like Frankie I avoid the crowds which normally just involves a bit of a walk Edited September 22, 2011 by cuzza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
