mikeseb Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 So i decided to see if I could fool a steelhead with a spinner this morning. Success!! After having 3 fish spit my lure while they were in mid-air I managed to land this guy. Defiantly a challenge fighting these fish on a 6ft medium action rod with a med-light action reel! Cant wait for next weekend, im getting sick of the crowds and the mess!! Every time ive been fishing the last few weeks ive brought a grocery bag with me and every time ive left with it full of garbage! Most of it being worm containers and other fishing related garbage!!

Joeytier Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Steelhead on light bass tackle are so much fun. Beauty fish buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krixxer Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Were you casting? When I get lazy and fishing good current like the Niagara. I like to set up a #1 mepps on a drop shot. Edited April 23, 2012 by krixxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young_one Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What size and model spinners do you use? I've had plenty of success with #2 or #3 Mepps Agilia in copper red or gold. I usually fish the frog waters and very often you'll get some nice browns that come into the river. Fenwick 10'6 UL + 1000 size reel + 6lb line!
