Well i live in Northeastern Ohio "steelhead alley" and its just about that time i've already heard some good reports of steelies in the rivers,cant wait to get my first steel of the season! How many of you guys steelhead fish and where do you do it at? curious to see where else in the US steelies can be caught in good numbers i know theres alot here and in PA but where else?

Sure that there are other members that get on them, have heard they are one of the greatest thrills in fishing

Can't wait to see some pics of them posted

Go west young man. Anywhere out there from southern oregon down to centeral cal. You have a very wide chioce out there. Use to fish them out there every chance i had. I tell you they have some really nice metalheads ,meaning some mosters!!!! 15lb upward to 24lbs. Any of the coastal rivers. They have small water and some very big water out there, take your pick!?!?. In small waters i would use a noolde rod, with a spin-n-glo, spawn sack with roe soaked in herring oil, kwikfish 04. Spinning;i would use krocodiles,mepps,and some needlefish.ive had great luck with these metheods. Cure your roe in borax keeps it fresh and smelling good enough for them to eat they cant get there fast enough!!!!!!! Then about 2 hrs before you go fishing take your spawn bags and put them in the herring oil.all you have to do then is to hang on!!!
