TDunn Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Hey Guys! What a fantastic fall we have had here in the north for steelheading. Prime water has been the norm. Honestly, I started fishing the tribs kind of late this season due to a busy work schedual. Most had hung up the rods and were driving by wearing blaze orange...perfect!! Roe and spinner bite was hot first Had a few buds out for some chrome first bow ever(water drop on the cam) second bow ever Pinkies started to produce Twitching jiggy buggers worked well in the slow water once the water temps dropped Took a ride last week up into Lake Superior Park and chased splake around in my kayak. Weather conditions were horrible but I managed to hit half a dozen in 2 hours. 2 of the fish i landed looked like this...the lake is only supposed to have splake.... I dunno...they got all laker jeans thats forsure Went for a ride north this past sunday and to no surprise the rivers were blown. Turned around and hit the rapids for a couple hours. Hit a spawned out atlantic on the float rod with a white jiggy bugger Atlantic Release Video Next up was this pig that almost pulled the rod out of my hands Its been cold!! Bring on the ice!! Hope you enjoyed! TDunn Edited December 6, 2011 by TDunn
rocheleauc Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Awesome, Lots of chrome Thanks for sharing.
Rod Caster Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Great scenery and fish shots Tyler! Some of the early hens had huge shoulders. I always enjoy spending time on that stretch of north shore heaven... wish I could spend more!
Guest chase4chrome Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Those are typical fish for the St. Mary's (a river I have fished often)--pound for pound (though smaller) they are hard fighters!! Thanks for the nostalgia... I recognize the falls also Cheers mate....
trapshooter Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Good fishing there Tyler. Love the shots of the chrome with snow on the ground.
Leecher Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Man I'm blind after seeing all that chrome Great job Tyler Awesome report

cjgraham Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Very nice fish indeed. Best time to go north is now! Question for you. Ever fish the rapids in the winter? Dec/Jan?
spinnerdoc Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 You bet Tyler I enjoyed this As always great report dude.
TDunn Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Very nice fish indeed. Best time to go north is now! Question for you. Ever fish the rapids in the winter? Dec/Jan? Latest Ive been in the rapids is mid dec because usually I'm on the ice around dec 15/16th. That being said, I might be there 1 or 2 more times myself this year. All depends when were walking on water....need some perch to eat! Thanks to all for the kind words! TDunn Edited December 8, 2011 by TDunn
NAC Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Been wondering when I'd see a report from up there, niceness. What's all that white stuff in the background?
TDunn Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Posted December 8, 2011 Been wondering when I'd see a report from up there, niceness. What's all that white stuff in the background? Haha Hey man! Give me a shout tonight!
Moosebunk Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Wickd Tyler!!! Some great pics and man, what a place to call home.
msp Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Looks cold up there. A great fall / early winter for you so far. Good luck out on the ice this year !
laszlo Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Always enjoy your reports Tyler. Keep it up.
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 sweet. looks like the sandbar was good to you this fall. found the fall slow but consistent myself. i never really hit a banner day this fall, but also only went once without catching anything. given the weather, steelheading might not be done yet either... hahaa=

Might hook up with jay over the xmas break if the bite Im on stays hot. If so, I'll let you know when were going. Thanks again to all! TDunn
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) hmmm... i'm not sure jay knows how to use a float rod anymore... unless he's been pinning for 'cats on the 'peg. i think he gets in tomorrow. Edited December 16, 2011 by Dr. Salvelinus
