Turkeygirl Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think I just had the best fishing day of my life. Andy I left this morning at 7am to fish a creek which eventually runs into Lake Erie and the steelhead run up it all the way to a dam which is in Springville, NY where we fish. Things were kinda slow as it was cold, Andy lost one in the first hour of fishing. When the sun came out and it warmed up a little, we could see people below the dam catching one steelhead after the other. Finally Andy and I decided to fight our way in after a few people left. I landed 2 steelhead in probably half an hour then Andy got 2 then when we have one fish left to catch to reach our limit, I hook into one right after he caught his second. This fish is the biggest steelhead/fish I have ever caught. What a beauty! Measured at 32 inches, estimated at around 12 pounds! Yes I have photos to show our catch, we each reached our limit of steel head and were home at 2pm! Beat that carbonhunter,lol(joke) Talk about an adrenaline rush when you hook into one of those beautiful beasts! Other people were also hooking into steelhead, what a great day of fishing! And yes, I do have pictures and here is one! My 32 inch male steelhead: (the photo sucks I know, dunno why it isn't clearer) Does anyone know how to delete photos in the realtree photo post. I want to delete some in my gallery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
