Went to the Grand Yesterday. Flow was 4.2, the water wasnt to clear but it was clear enough you could see a few foot down. We bouncing Spawn. I was running 10 pound main line, with a slider on it with 2 #7 Split Shot. I like to runner a slider in the winter time because i think when ya get a hit there more likely to Hold on a little longer if the don’t Feel That weight on there. I had about a 4 1/2 foot 4lb Floro Leader on with a #14 Hook. And I tipped that with a 3 egg one Chart. Floater. Dam did it look good. But Started to drift a few Runs nothing….. Then I was watching my line and it stopped and set the hook and had one on. and that SOB Turn on me and the Hook popped out. So i called it a few more names and tryed drifting again for about a 1/2 and switched up to a #8 White Bucktail Jig. It was real small but I tyed it with Buck Tail. Threw 2 wax worms on it threw it out again. Then I Hit a Nice Hen. Fished a Little Longer and Nothing else hit.

And then on the way out Joe pulled a Tip up…. up and had one on it. We Put some Skirts above the Shiner to add some action to it. The perch we switched off from spikes… minnows… and wigglers.

We have been having allot of Slush come over the dam right now. Few guys are hitting some fish on jigs and wax worms but most are using spawn. Seen a few Fly guys hitting um above the first coffer dam on eggs. This Time of year the Fishing get’s a little harder to hit one. Use Light line. I’m talking 2 to 4 lb leader. And slowing your drift down just a little bit on your jigs and shaking the tip of your Rod to give it a little action helps to get um to hit this time of year. SPEED CONTROL…….DEPTH CONTROL…LINE CONTROL!!!!!!! Few guys are hitting some walleye in the river as well. Use buck tail jigs or pattle tails.

With Christmas out of the way it’s time to Relax and catch some fish. with the high waters we had in the fall. Pushed allot of fish in the Grand. Great winter time Steelheading going on right now. Try using Spawn, jigs and Waxy’s. Or if you like to fly fish. Run about a #10 green Caddis or a #8 Blk Stone. Or if you want to swing some flies, try a White Bunny Streamer.

Not allot of guys down at the River Right now but there are fish in there. What I like the most about winter time steelheading, your not shoulder to shoulder with everyone. You at least can have some room and be able to fish.

This picture is Jeff. He hooked this one Pinning on spawn down at the dam. Jeff likes to run 6 lb Berkley Vanish. He says for the price and how durable the line is you can’t beat it. Quarter Size Spawn bags “White”
