Steelhead Question

[Bucketfiller]

Yea Ben is a sales Rep for Simms.  He fishes quite a bit, i see him on the water quite a bit.  I see Bob on the water quite a bit also.  I havent seen em in there this year but they had a younger guy from GVSU workin for em last year.  I fished with him a few times last year also. 

What river you see these guys on? Just the Rogue?

[Mr.Vexilar]

10-4.  I dont fish too many other rivers, made it up the to PM for my first time last weekend. Going back up there next weekend for a couple days.  Other than that i fish the Rogue, Grand River, and 2 small tribs right close to home here that you couldnt pay me enough money to name them.

I fish northern Rivers mostly. I go to the Rogue A few times a year, mostly because its close. Come on Man, what 2 small tribs? Theres not a trib in a 50 mile raduis I havent fish at some point!

[Mr.Vexilar]

Theres not a trib in a 50 mile raduis I havent fish at some point!

  I doubt it......  These tribs do get fished, but no ANYWHERE near where we fish it.  We walked into it one day last year in late May, stood up on a hill looked down into a dark hole behind some gravel, seen the gravel was shined up, look into the hole and there were EASILY 20 steelies holdin in this hole behind an active bed.  We couldnt make it back to the truck fast enough, caught steelies all through June last year.  Fish NEVER get pressured and are MORE than willing to eat anything you put in front of em!

[fishybill]

I got a tip that nobody seems to follow when fishing the Clinton

STAY OUT OF THE D**M RIVER!!!  These guys wade right down the middle of the stream casting all over the place. 

I fish smaller rivers in the northern lower and we sneak along the bank.  Only getting in the river when its absolutely necessary.

[Mr.Vexilar]

Only getting in the river when its absolutely necessary.

  OK??? Congrats there bill.....  Only problem i can see with guys wading is if they dont know where they are wading at... I wade all day long, but never walk through water that may be holding a fish.

WHAT SAND CREEK ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?  sorry for the caps.
