They get twice that big in Oregon. Definitely worth the effort for a mess or bait for steelhead.
I have dabbled in the field but I refuse to dapple anything that has no hair! LOL ... come on man...a little humor always makes life better.
Feathered jigs are a good bet fishing this technique as well as shrimp or sand shrimp with a bit of yarn too. You might want to try the drift fishing method too, your floatation is at the top of your hook (corkie, etc.) about 2-3 foot leader with a slinky weight attached to your swivel. Cast and drift/bounce the bottom. Good for medium to large streams or small rivers.
Bobbers, in a pinch can also be used as ping pong balls in case of "beer pong" emergency!
I got it covered, I attended Fish U. I got my masters in Baiting.
ready not freaky auto correct.
Maybe you should put the dryer on high that way they'd be freaky to eat straight out of the dryer!
And the argument that they were here first won't hold water (pun intended) because they would not be here in the numbers that they are if it were not for the food we humans provide them. The fish processing discharge and various other sources of easy and plentiful organic matter that attracts all levels of the food chain bring them in for easy pickings. My thoughts are that there ought to be a hunting season on them like alligators. Make your own mucklucks.
Someone is lying to you fool.
It will never fish the same again.
How about taking it to a thrift store to find a suitable top section. Or just use the whole pole.
Hey folks! Does anyone out there have a tried and true smoked fish canning recipe/method?
Ok, I think I got it this time.
Caught these with the wife and bro-in-law up near Canada in Washington state. The next day another limit and3 were in the steelhead size range. Caught them in a little postage stamp lake about 4 acres. The smoke was pretty dad burn thick though, could barely see across that little lake.
