How did it go on the river yesterday?
-
Leeper park was on fire today,river level was perfect.I hooked up with 8 and landed three.The biggest was 12-15 lb.Most were hold overs but a few bright chrome ones mixed in
-
Nice! Drifting spawn or fishing lures? Congratulations steelies are fun to catch! Hex

Hitting the river tomorrow morning,hope to repeat from my last outing.There should still be some fish moving around I hope!

Sounds like a great day! Glad you got on them! Can’t wait to get up there.

Way to go!!! Haven't been for 2 2 seasons now. Fished Michigan the last time I was on the st joe.was a great day.

OMG!Steelhead run is in full swing.I landed 9 today and had 20 hook ups .Guys were still hooking up just before I left the river.I caught all of my fish on flys which I tie myself.Guys down from me were hooking fish with single egg

I was there Saturday for a bit, and it wasn’t bad. I didn’t catch much, but saw a few caught. Hoping to try again tuesday

Pretty simple rig,just a three way swivel ,dropper weight and about a 24 inch leader line with what ever you use for a bait or lure.Main line is tied onto other end of three way swivel.

thanks for the rig pic.
very nice fish! congrats! whats up with the fish coming unbuttoned? you using tiny hooks?
-
I think it has more to to with the rod. And the x-fast tip. I will be switching rods for my next trip.
-
That or I just suck. And didn’t set the hook good enough. Idk. Still new to bank fishing for them. I Usually troll.
-
Shiver on the river tomorrow ,hope it’s not going to be crowded .There should still be some active spawners.Good luck to who ever goes
-
This years run is one for the record books!I landed 5 fish today out of 10 hook ups.Red flies were the hot color today .Left fly in this ones mouth to give an idea what they hit on

Good job! I been smelling the damned skunk on most of my outings. Can’t figure out what’s going on, maybe the up and down temperatures and barometer has been up and down. Hope things get better soon, Turkey season is coming and fishing will have to wait till I kill a bird. Hex
