Floated the American yesterday for Steelhead.....

[winxp_man]

I actually tried fishing with magnets for steelhead when I first started fishing for these wonderful Unicorn like creatures

JGB:

I know there are no steelhead because if there were, I am such a good angler, I would have caught them.

--just sayin'.

When/if you drink, I bet you drink Dos Equis?

I'd say throw that Dos Equis in his face to wake him up. Some people just don't know when to quit!

....and some have no sense of humor...

[Mark Kranhold]

Your sense of humor gets old! Just like on speypages.... You made a lot of good friends there Bud!

I have to agree with some earlier statements made here about the true nature of anadromy. Because steelhead in the Great Lakes do not transition through a saltwater-freshwater interface, with all of the associated physiological changes, a more correct description of the migration between lakes and rivers for spawning would be the term: 'adfluvial'.

I don't go on a message board to make Internet friends.

And I love how a sense of humor on a message board can get old? In real life, my wife says my sarcasm gets "old", but I've never been told that on a fishing bulletin board!

Let's change the subject here and talk about REAL fun stuff!

How about the use of pegged eggs? Bobicators? Fishing on redds? And the all-timer.....posting pics of fish out of the water! Let's drown this freakin' board like we did the good 'ol NCFFB!

LOL. So you mean talking about the Professor we saw several years ago
fishing the redds with 5 different rods below Rossmoor? And telling us where
they were holding? Nice ethics.

It was hilarious to see him in the parking lot later...lecturing several people
on his greatness (in his own mind that is).

Liking this amiable thread.

Some years ago we had some guys who would "sight cast" to spawning Steelhead on the redds up around Sailor Bar. They would hook dozens of fish every day in Jan/Feb. People would come in and say they thought these guys were the best steelhead fly fishers that ever lived........

Folks, that is the real world.

One fly fisher in a 1,000 thinks like us fans of the wild Steelhead.

There is no school for this so why would you expect anyone to know all this stuff.

We are in a very tiny small group of people so don't get so know it all about all this.

I don't get crazy when I see someone making a mistake, according to our rules of engagement, because they haven't got a clue......not one.

Being mean and combative is just plan crazy.....

We should put our energies into trying to fix more habitat for wild Steelhead.

99% of all anglers are only out there to have fun and get away from the job and family.



One more point, leave your ego outside with your horse.

That is mostly what goes on here when we have problems on the "salmon/steelhead" catagory......
