Cravin Crome Spring steelhead fishing still going strong
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s been a great season so far. even though we have been having some rain the water has still been about 2 to 3 feet visibability. Temp is about 45 degrees right now. But up close to the dam we have been hitting fishing on choker bags and then mixing um up with some smaller bags as well. Fishing are still going strong on wobble glows. And the shore anglers are hitting um with yarn and about 8 foot leaders. I went out yesterday and hit about 40 fish. Landed 12. I’ve been using 12 to 14 lb main line and 10 pound leader. and using a huge float with a 1 ounce sinker to get it in the hole quick. there’s been allot of light biters. Float isnt going all the way down so make sure your on um when they hit or you’ll be shit out of luck catching um. fulton street bridge has been taking a few fish as well as bridge street. I would say from today we have about 3 weeks of fishing left for steelies in the river. We are still getting allot of tight hens. And the males arent all beat up yet. So the spawn is still going strong. Dont be afraid to mover away from the dam either. there is some nice gravel down stream. Fish it, and you will be yelling FISH ON!!!
Steelhead Fishing the Grand in Full Swing
Posted by: | CommentsThe water is high right now but that is not stopping the fish from coming up river. Fish bigger weights to get down there and about 4 to 8 foot leader with some yarn or spawn sacks. Few guys are using Floats but most fish have been taking by dead drifting flies and yarn.
Winter Steelhead fishing on the Grand River
Posted by: | CommentsYa know this winter has been a rough year on the Grand so far. If we don’t have so much ice coming down the river. We have high winds that make it hard to feel a bite But the guys that are catching the fish are doing a few different things to land the fish. Bottom bouncing spawn has been catching allot of fish this year.
using a float with spawn on jigs and waxy’s have been doing good as well. But whats nice about a float is you can control where you want your bait to be at. A few guys are even using hot-n-tots with floats and nailing a few fish that way. Wobble glows are hitting a few fish to. with the muddy water they feel that vibe coming from it and smack it. The water has been cold at the dam. 34.6 has been a average. But it will warm up soon.
