Here are a couple steelhead I caught November 4th 07. We had a great last day of bass fishing topped off with these steelies. These fish are stocked in Lake Erie every year and my dad likes to eat them thats why I kept them. These fish are amazing acrobats, jumping 5 or more feet in the air.

Nice lookin fish thetr20one

congrads  

what method and what did u catch em on????

can't wait for next saturday to bust out the fly rod... OPENING DAY BABY... gonna be out all day all weekend

Both of em came on shad colored cranks while casting along the breakwalls for bass. I had three others hooked up but their mouths are super tough and they jump like crazy.

Very nice fish! 8-)

yummy

Yummy indeed. Lucky dog you.

great catch dude and great fighters 8-)

They release Steelhead every year in Lake Erie and you can go up in the fall and fish the breakwalls around the river inlets they let em go from. They come back big in a few years and are very sought after, people line up arm to arm in the creeks and rivers. If you fish the breakwalls you have the first shot at them. It was Around 30 tto 35 degrees that day with water temps in the mid 50s and falling. I think I will make it a point to focus on them a little next fall!!

Nice fish!

That is the reason why I don't like to fish for them. Not because I don't like steelhead but because I hate dealing with rude anglers. In my neck of the woods not too many people target bass so I usually get to fish in peace most of the time. A couple people around is fine.....but it's when you get these people that have no clue what Angler respect is.  ;D

Amen, thats why I don't trout fish anymore

See around here we have "hot spots" or easy access to the river or stream. Most of these jokers in my parts are too d**n lazy to hike a mile or two and find the nice secluded spots. I'll park at a hot spot then hike a mile, mile and a half. Quiet, peaceful. No kids throwing logs in the water. Don't let part timers ruin your time.
