Steelhead

[Budman118]

We catch a few steelhead every year trolling for walleye in 75FOW north out of Geneva. They slam the stickbaits when they hit and they jump 3 feet out of the water when you’re fighting them. We have never targeted them tho. I’m sure if we had spoons out we would catch more.

we fish out of Geneva July through August and don't start fishing until were at 60' up to 80' unless we get reports of shallower fish.

but we fish for eyes but have caught as many as 5 steelhead in one day. we did catch a few using harnesses but spoons worked so much better on eyes and SH.

purple worked best for eyes but chrome with a blue back caught both, and orange caught SH the best. so, make sure you have some orange spoons. we fished 45' to 65' deep with lite bite slide divers using 7' Fluro leaders and not the slide part, 2.8 to 3.2 was our best speed.
