Steelheading last week

[emjay88]

One of my better weeks fishing including my personal best. Versatility was the key as roe, pinkies, beads, and hardware all produced at different times.

Congrats on the PB! Well done

 

Is that a St Croix wild river rod that you're tossing the skunk Kwikfish with? I'm definitely in the market for a new hardware stick.

Thanks very much. Wow that's a good eye you have. Yes it's a 10'6" St.Croix Wild River rod. I got it 2-3 years ago and it's been absolutely great for me. Exclusively use it for hardware. The water that day was still a little dirty but cleaning up and I was using a frog pattern flatfish for 20 min with no luck. I had read an article recently how black works better in dirty water as it provides more of a visible silhouette for the fish and sure enough the first cast connected.

I was by myself for 1st, 2nd, and 4th pics so all I had was a go pro on a 6" tripod, hence the "bass" holds LOL.

Way to Matt.

 

I'll let Nooch know of our success.
