Had a net at home, but never thought I would need it fishing for trout. Next time I'm bringing it no question! The rod made the fight way more fun though and I'm glad I caught the fish on it instead of my larger spinning rod.
Bought a new trout pole at Cabela's yesterday and thought I should go test it out on the Willamette near campus. The pole was an ultra light Quantum with 6lb test. Worked through the majority of my smaller spinners and plugs with no luck, thinking I would end my day skunked. I wanted to try one...

Thanks for the tips on the locations! I have been riding my bike up and down those paths looking for some good water so that will help me with my search. Do you have any tips on how to catch them? Lately I have been spinning blue foxes, but I also float steelhead jigs under a slip bobber.

I'm new to Steelhead fishing around the Eugene area and was wondering if anyone could lead me to a nearby spot to fish for some steelies in the upcoming months. I'm mostly going to be drift fishing, but will also take tips for floating bait or using spinners, anything helps! <°)))>{
