Ladies and Gents...

Shouldn't we be going for Steelhead soon?

Tell me... Why do the children play?

I've been wondering.... what kind of extra equipment does it take to wade in the super cold water?

I honestly just don't know anything about it... is it as simple as doubling up on wool socks and using some thermal underwear and sweatpants? I have "soft foot" neoprene waders (I think 3.5mm thick), and the last time I went fishing (first week of november) my feet were freezing after a couple hours out.

[sacco]

pretty much yes, but no cotton sweatpants.
you'll sweat walking to your spot, then freeze your *** off standing there fishing for 3 hours.

i've been using stocking foot breathable waders all winter long.

hothands* foot warmer packs help alot

Where do you guys fish for steelhead. I live on the Oswego river and it's a steelie bonanza 9 months out of the year. Trophy catches every day.

I wish I were closer to the Oswego, I'd fish that river on almost any given day instead of the Salmon river for steelhead.

[hillman1]

Well I'd rather kayak on the Salmon. I know we bother some of the fishermen, but mostly it's all good. I haven't been out lately, but my brother has catching Browns and steelheads right off of leto Island.

couple weeks...

Wrong answer.

The correct answer is:
-couple hours.

Any o'you kayakers out there wanna meet me...?
I'll be there.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

I believe that the first person to utter that phrase was Dylan Thomas,
(but yes, King Crimson picked up on it).

Perhaps serotonin should utter something different into the darkness...
...how 'bout, um... er... let me see... something...

Starless and Blacker than That...

I warn you... I'm going Steelhead fishing in a matter of moments,
and this was recorded w/o the benefit of the Tuvan Throat singers:

Well...My second round with the flu started Friday afternoon and is still kicking my ass so there has been no fishing for me.

tight lines steve, post pics

Gotcha, I sensed it may have been from somewhere else but haven't had the pleasure of reading much Dylan Thomas back in my engrish lit days.

Now that I'm a music junky the whole world revolves around song references and such... or does the music revolve around world references? I'm so confused. :headbang:

[sorry for the OT]

[serotonin]

Creekwader- Get better soon. Maybe the water will warm a few degrees when you're ready to go again. The fishin' will only get better then.

Kevin-

Scott-
The fishin' was a little slow, for everyone... creel surveyors confirmed that.
I'll post some pics when the roll is finished.
The best fish were lost, only a rod's length away ... pushin' 10 lbs.

My friend who joined me yesterday will be drift-boatin' it this weekend.
Maybe he can unlock the key to the Mystery Fish.
Steelhead confuse me.

Very crisp and sunny most of the day. I think that most of our fish were hooked when it was snowing. I also wonder if the full moon played any role.

Edit: Next time I go for Steel, I'll do it when it's Starless.
