Steelhead hands down........and i prove their my favorite every november, december, january, february, march, and april when i often find myself on the stream breaking off shelf Ice before sun-up on a sunday morning when i oughtta be sleeping, but instead Im standing in sub zero temps, in the water no less, P.O.'ed that i just snapped a fish, rerigging a float, float stop, swivel,  tippet, fly or bait and stacking 7 or 8 mini split shot.......with numb fingers.......throwing the float back in for another drift, watch my line bow completely downstream from a gust of wind that drags my float totally out of sync with the drift and also whips a plume of snow past my face and blows my hood off, and still dont go home cuz i just saw one porpoise lol!! Thats how i know my favorite fish to fish for are steelhead, no doubt.

im not picky,  bass are fun though!
If it moves and it shouldn't, use ducktape;  If it don't move and it should, use WD40!

Walleye are most sought after around here but trout come in close. Our panfishing and bass fishing is very sparse but I do travel to find them sometimes.  Just kind of hard to justify a 150 mile trip to catch a perch or bluegill.  However my goal this year is to catch 5 species of fish I have never caught before so I do see some traveling in my future!
Honestly honey, I'll be home as soon as I get my limit ;-)

Smallmouth bass are my target, on the lightest gear possible without sacrificing fishability.

Its an addicting cat and mouse game.
