Twocoda Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 very enthusiastic report...i can relate with the adrenaline rush given the size and energy of the kings even at my age (it never gets old) ....its the best way to test out your equipment and a whole lot of fun to boot (pun intended)...we do an annual pilgrimage down to Lake O for floating upstream during the day and chucking hardware till all hours of the morning creating sleep deprivation and mishaps galore that become bonds shared with the pals...Our recent 4 day trip consisted of 12 hours sleep in total gallons of energy drinks and coffee and probably enough beef jerky to support a special delivery to our main supplier while we were in the area...good on ya guys !

landry Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was not aiming any slight towards the original poster. Looks like you had a great time! I once fished the salmon run enthusiastically. After a while, most steelheaders tire of river salmon fishing. I meant no offense. I don't know Bill and he is likely a great guy - I just thought his post was smug and all-knowing. Like I said he is likely a good man. I rarely river fish anymore after being a diehard for 20 years. I got sick of the competitiveness, bravado and territorial pissing. I enjoy being out in a boat far more these days. Have not really steelheaders much for the last 8 years or so.

You need to not let the opinions of some random guy on a internet fishing forum bug you so much. Really man, OP had a good time, I'm sure he doesn't give a rats ass at what I think about it, lol. Hopefully he gets out on Lake O in July and experiences these fish at their prime, once he does he'll figure out why a lot of us don't bother with them once they are zombies and roaming the rivers.

msp Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Dirty boots in 2ft of water.. Did they even have a chance? Now now Bill. Be nice Why is fishing for salmon any different than fishing for steelhead ? I mean come on, how hard is it to catch a fish that returns to the same river every year ? Not much of a challenge in my opinion. Good times anyway Well done to the O.P. Nice report and pictures ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msp Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Mike are you saying you've given up on steelies? Say it ain't so... Yes, standing shoulder to shoulder on a riverbank and driving thousands of Km's for a bit of chrome does not really apeal to me anymore.

FloatnFly Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 awesome job guys, glad you got to experience these river giants. a big change from the bass you normally get into. should try to get on on the fly rod.....its a blast.. for a lot of people, this time of year is the only chance they will have at fighting these great fish, they may not be in their prime, but they still give a good fight, these are the largest sport fish in our waters (excluding sturgeon) let them have their fun. like our parents always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
