Cravin Chrome in the WINTER!!!
Took a few buddy’s out with me yesterday on the Grand River. The Fishing was Slow but we Landed 4 Steely’s. I was running Jigs and waxy’s And hit a few fish with nothin to come about. But Jeff was hitting a few fish on the Pin. With nickel to quater Size Spawn Sacs. White and Chart. was the ticket 2 on each color. We wasnt even fishing all the deep just about 3 1/2 foot. Fished at the dam at first with no takes and then dropped down in the boat and started to stick um. Talked to one guy that was throwing Gold and Black hot-n-tots and had one.
Updates will be about everyday now. Hunting is about over and the guided trips will slow down unitl goose and duck open back up.
But if your getting some cabin fever get out of the house because there are fish to be caught out there!!!
Fall Steelhead going strong
With the rain we had last week. It has really pushed allot of fish up. Allot of guys are fishing the post office wall and a few holes down river floating white jigs tipped with waxy’s.

And did you know that there hasnt been one day this year that someone has not landed a Steely in the River THIS YEAR!!!! GET OFF THE COUCH AND FISH!!!!
Hitting the Silver Bullets
The last few days the water has stayed about the same level. Even though its higher than hell. The water has about 2 foot visibality. We started out using choker bags. Chart. with grape skein. Took a few cast then i had a fish on. It was a nice chrome steely. Third cast after that i hit another one but this time when i set the hook it came straight at me like a rocket and there was to much slack on the fish and i lost it. The next drift after i put a new bag on BAMMMM I had one hit so hard the float went over a foot before i set the hook. But then one of my buddies tryed to dip net it and hit it in the head and then that came off. We fished our spot for another 2 hours and hit fish, if not every drift every other. Both east and west where hitting fish. then moved around and then we moved and we hitt a few fish every where we moved to. Still allot of fish in the river. there was only 2 boats in the water.
Steelies going strong!!!

I went out today about 11 o’clock and it was windy as shit. But i still hooked into allot of fish. I used big choker and the steelies where rolling every where. Both east and west side where hitting fish. I was the only boat in the River. No one else was around!!!. I was 34 for 15 today. Water temp still holding around 45 degrees
Steelhead Fishing the Grand in Full Swing
The 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.
