lookinforwalleye Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Arrived late, Caught no fish Fell in the river face first!!! All kidding aside all of the above is true but I still had a great time met a great bunch of new friends from the Nottawasaga Steelheaders organization! It was painfully obvious that equippment and knowledge wise I was way over my head with this type of fishing but even after the soaking I toughed it out! I am already arranging more trips to the river I can see this type of fishing becoming very addictive! Note to self purchase water wings before next trip!!!

J-M Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Arrived late, Caught no fish Fell in the river face first!!! All kidding aside all of the above is true but I still had a great time met a great bunch of new friends from the Nottawasaga Steelheaders organization! It was painfully obvious that I was way both equippment and knowledge wise over my head with this type of fishing but even after the soaking I toughed it out! I am already arranging more trips to the river I can see this type of fishing becoming very addictive! Note to selve purchase water wings before next trip!!! The Nottawasaga Steelheaders are a great organization and a awesome group of guys who are willing to help out newbies. Its a great way to start if you're getting into steelheading and they do alot of awesome river work. Sorry to hear about your unlucky experience, it happens! I found the Nottawasaga a tough river to fish but once you figure it out, it can be very addicting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Did you fish with either of the Chris W's or with Fred? Good guys whose knowledge of that system is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Lookinforwalleye - wow! A memorable first outing for sure!!! I was steelheading alone once...was making my way through some frog water when I hit a bunch of logs and branches in the water. I was trying to get around the obstacle...one foot forward...test the water. I was in maybe 2 feet of water...took a test step...felt good and the branch breaks...water up and over my chest waders! Lol. Glad to hear you still had a great time out there!!! Will be even better when you hook your first...you will be hooked on it for sure! Twocoda - that was hilarious!!! A little scary at the time I'm sure, but glad to hear you were netted before going over the falls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Did you fish with either of the Chris W's or with Fred? Good guys whose knowledge of that system is fantastic. There was a Chris there. An older gentlemen very nice guy, I actually met him earlier in the year when my buddy had him up to his trailer for a little bass fishing. Met about a dozen guys from the organization and they take their steelheading pretty serious but they were also very willing to help out a newbie which is great, I already have a couple of offers to fish with them again. I just wish I had more time this fall. Anybody wanna buy a bass boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
