Hey all,
I'm new here. I've been lurking around for a while and just made a profile. Lots of good info on here! I was curious if there has been anybody out on the sandy nymphing for Salmon/Steelhead? I went once a couple of weeks ago and hooked up with good size Ho before my leader snapped! Any tips or tricks? Thanks friends.
I am visiting and trying to figure out this salmon?steelhead game. I only have single handed rods with me so I have been doing some swinging but mainly Nymphing I landed a nice native steelhead my first day at Dodge on a single Bead. been hooking mainly white fish with prince nymphs talked to a guy that got a nice coho on a caddis pupa. The problem I have been having is any of the small channels I have been fishing on the sandy are filled with spawning salmon. I have been trying to avoid these fish and trying to find more steelhead or holding salmon but that has been a very frustrating four days.
start reading the water like you would a trout stream, and fish them the same... this time of year they hang in faster water and tailouts eatin eggs.. if you see salmon spawning, fish the water behind them, and stick with the bead the picture is of my fall steelhead weapon.
they are called a "harry Garcia" and they slay on the wilson, I tie them in a wool headed sculpin as well... but they don't fish as well.
