Hey man nice fish! First time I've seen you pose with one holding it upright!:lol:
Hehehe yeah that was funnyHow about you though? I haven't seen you holding 'ANY' Fish since June? No reports from Deschutes?
Yeah I know but it's not because I haven't been getting into any it's just that there's usually no one close enough to me to take the shot before it goes back into the water.
Dispite our best efforts, skill, choice of fly, and arsenal of rods, markcanby, ninja, eggs, and myself could not connect with a Deschutes steelhead over the Labor Day weekend. I'll post pictures soon but it's mostly scenery. lol. Still had fun though.
Perhaps couple more weeks and it should pick up?
Spinners, spinners and more spinners for the D! I know people who have been getting 2-4 steelhead per person, per trip.
OnTheFly: I know you roll with flies and thats awesome!Its a very effective way to catch them. I would think you would need a spey rod to hook steelhead on the lower D with so much water to cover. That is why spinners work so well there, you can find the aggressive fish fast and cover a lot of water.
Here is one person who consistantly catches them on spinners. This was from 8-31-10, four days before the weekend. He was also there again today and I am sure they caught more!
