[creditmaster]

hey guys just wondering if anyone knows if steelhead wll eat live leeches and how should I fish them? thanks

Steelhead will eat anything. Fish them under a float just like you would a worm.

ok thanks and in fall of spring?

[BillM]

Yup, really shouldn't matter. They'll eat them.

I guess if you had a big supply of leaches and nothing else to do with them, then why not. But for convenience and cheap availability, nothing beats worms! The added bonus is that they work like a hot damn!

Worms are a lot cheaper as well But for action under the water, leeches are great.
