Turkeygirl Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well I got home from class at noon on Thursday, the weather was 50 degrees and beautiful. I got my fishing stuff and drove 45 minutes to a large creek that runs into Lake Erie that the steelhead run up and get stopped by a dam. I was fishing right below this dam, water was a little high and muddy from rain the night before, but after about 45 minutes, hooked onto my second largest steelhead ever, he's probably the widest one I've caught He weighed in at 9 pounds, measured 28" in length with a 16" girth; that's a wide fish! It is such a blast to bring in one of these big guys Oh, I caught him on an egg sack. We make our own using the eggs from female steelhead that we catch. Enjoy the photo. Oh, by the way that is a Team Realtree hat I'm wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Steelhead success! (photo) Nice fish Ruth! Didn't know NY had any streams that emptied into Erie, thought they all dumped into Ontario. BTW--don't look now, but there's a deer behind you in the photo.

Turkeygirl Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Steelhead success! (photo) Ha ha Tominator. That's actually my sister's dog sneakin' in the photo. Yeah, it's called Cattaragus Creek and empties into Erie, maybe through other tributaries. Actually some guy from Buffalo killed some guy and dumped his body in the creek above the dam awhile back; kinda freaky,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
