You're dreamin' of winter steelhead 'cause you can't catch a salmon ;) or at least I haven't seen any reports of such a thing happening. Ha ha haaaaa.....

Seriously though. I'm looking forward to December. I don't like summer fishing, at all...I look forward to winter every year with retarded anticipation.

hmm gonna be hard to find one that will run true in the currents of the rogue but if i go i will try it out, what do steelhead think when they are eating crankbaits, or flatfish or spoons, like what are they thinking they are eating?
 
lota guys that wana work to hard and row a boat all day like to plug. your forceing the plugs at the fish. its just like bass its a reaction bite same with spinners and spoons

they hit it out of instinct but they have no knowledge or idea of what it is? hmm this might get tough, do you know if they may prey on smolts or suckers or pikeminnow on their voyage upstream?
 
if you could get a realy flasky swim bait i think you could get a fish. or one with a bill and back troll it
 
well lots of people say they wont eat once in fresh water. but they will eat what ever comes in fronta there face. yes they will eat small fish

I will try it out i am gonna try this one i think its only 4" but still a little swimbait i guess lol i will weight one to sink like a rock so it wont rise in the current and im gonna fish it from shore lol i want to say i will get a steelhead on it but who knows. Watch im gonna learn to swimbait fish steelhead and get some trophy LOL
 
you mite be on to something there. when theres a lot of fish in the river anything will work! late spring or summer fish will bite anything its to easy!
