Has anyone been out for steelhead lately?
Want to go for browns along the shore line if the weather warms up & the wind stops.
Lineman,...I had the same thought for going out of Olcott, but the weather does'nt look very promising. I can deal with the cold but that wind is a killer unless its a south wind. Every time I get pumped about getting the boat out, mother nature decides to torture me. Looks like I'll be back in the streams or lower river on shore for a while longer.
Had cabin fever so I hit Olcott pier again today. Muddy water, northwest wind, not much sun, "no fish". Had to check out the new steelhead rod though, and my spoons needed a washing. A few other folks out there, but I did'nt see anyone bend a rod. Seen a pic of a nice brown (16lb.) that a guy got off the dock right at the Olcott boat launch a couple days ago. I think as soon as the water clears up a bit the bite should be good.
This Brown was caught off the pier on Easter!!! I know the guy and it is a real pic. He released it too! 36"long-Did'nt have scale to get weight but it had to be at least 25#. Hope the pic comes out.
Sorry.... I meant to say, at least 20#
That's a bruiser of a fish. Considering that the state record is 33 lbs 2oz. And 38inches long. I'd say ur 25# guesstimate is closer.
Nice brown,huge fish!
Well if all goes as planned will be headed out of the oak tomorrow morning. The original plan for the day fell thru. Hope that sun warms the shore line and the wind blows for a bit today. Things are setting up to be a good day for the browns. Hopefully it'll be a good shake down run. Be nice of there is a dock in but doubtful . Last yr mar 17 they were in at the oak and 2 wks from now last yr i hit a 26 lb king in close off the boat WHITE CITY with capt jeff. I'll see what tomorrow brings.
Bailey - we're waiting for a report.:cool:
