Steel Bunny Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi all, I am a new member, looking to learn a few things and meet others who share my insane obsession with fishing. The more you get to know me, the more you will see that I am sicka than your average...... I am from Durham, fishing mostly the east side of the GTA. I like to fish for anything that swims but my real passion is steelheading. I get out as often as I can which has been 3-4 times a week on average. First light, after work or mid day....I'll take what I can get. Right now I'm float fishing but I just picked up my first fly rod and I cannot wait to learn on brookies this spring! Does anyone else feel the way I do about steelheading? Thats probably a silly question.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Farmer Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Most Steelhead guys on here need someone to teach them how to fish, some even try to build steelhead rods with cloth- line pulley reels on them. If you need any advise on Sheephead or Perch fishin just ask me, "I'm a PRO" Welcome aboard, SB Just don't take anyone on here to serious, just me.

ccmtcanada Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Welcome to the forum! I was a complete newbie to creek fishing when I joined the forum. I learned by walking all the creeks from Duffin's east to Cobourg. Once I finally got into my first steel I was hooked! It's harder for me to find the time to fish now (Back then I fished as much as you do now!!), but maybe I should dust off my float gear and see what's still out there!

Locnar Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Steelheader eh? I'm from the Durham region as well. I've tried my luck at steelheading, I've only caught one... maybe I could learn something from you. I'm more of a bass man myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
