Dangus Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Really, you're probably okay with a big hookset because that slickshooter just slips through your fingers anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonAndersen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Aiptasia, Steelhead are mostly a myth generated to separate you from your money. Sure some exist, but they are few. Even exceptional rivers have every few fish. Been the steelhead route. Took me 28 days to catch the first one. And that day I got two. I was pumped and ready. What a disappointment. The first fish had less jam than a walleye and was probably a hatchery fish. The second was well over 15 lbs. and I landed it within minutes.both were winter fish. But things got better and I caught more and more. I finally ended up my steelhead chapter with a 7 day trip to the Dean. Landed 7, one each day and lost two. Will I ever do it again, not likely. There isn't enough fish left to make the trip worthwhile. When there are some fish in the river, your success rate will be reasonable. On one trip of two weeks in late September in the Buckley/Kispiox area over 40 Angler's I talked to caught 2 fish. Oh sure, you can luck out but be prepared for years of low returns. The nice thing about steel heading. Getting skunked is a pond most of us spend our time in. Regards, Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
