PUMP KNOWS Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I fished a new trib and from the looks of it every popular hole was packed with people. So I had to find a little stretch of my own to fish. This spot I choose had lots of snags but had potential to have fish in it. After getting snagged and retying numerous times, I finally catch my first steelhead of the year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBiRRyC6crU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8yxlCcy6Qc Edited April 22, 2015 by PUMP KNOWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUMP KNOWS Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 My first steelhead caught with a hardbait. We kept this one because the treble pierced its eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-LAtCh5BaQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonidstalker Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 At least now you know to switch those trebles to a single siwash. Less lost lures and safe release on future fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've killed way more rainbows with siwash hooks over trebles. Rainbows always seem to take em in the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) If you're that worried about hooks, pinch the barbs... treble or siwash it doesn't matter. I find siwash hooks do way more damage (especially out in the lake).. Ends up making giant holes in their faces.

PUMP KNOWS Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I'll be pinching 2 of the 3 barbs . As for opener, I found it to be less fish then last year...I see lots of them spawning but I don't target those https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1U4nW36HiY Edited April 29, 2015 by PUMP KNOWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ven-Pisc-ator Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Nice, I love the way the reel sounds when the fish is on a run. It looks like the duck landing on the water triggered the one fish. Ven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
