Dorado update. Just to show how crazy the bite is, the Monte Carlo out of 22nd St in Long Beach came in with over 100 Dorado. Why is this so amazing you might ask, well, that boat gets a lot first timers with minimum gear and not a clue. I would guess to get over 100, they prolly hooked and lost twice that many.

Let’s wake this thread up, it’s about winter steelhead time!

Here is a couple pics of my first day steelhead fishing with a fly rod, I got 6 on it that day, and 5 the next, and I checked that off of my bucket list and gave that setup to my buddy who likes fishing a fly rod… it wasn’t for me, but I do see the draw, but I would way rather catch one swinging a spoon… the fly rod was easy enough to get bit with, but I didn’t like walking by pockets I couldn’t reach with a fly rod, it bugged me. I think certain rivers would be fun, especially out of a drift boat, but for me, life is too short to walk by willing biters😉

That’s a heck of a first day out for Steelhead on the fly! If you’re looking for the next level fly fishing that’ll reach those pockets, you should look at Spey fishing. Nice fish, roosiebull!

i am a much better fisherman than i am a hunter! anyone fish on the great lakes on this forum? specifically lake Michigan?
As you start finding more success in the woods, you will realize how much fishing and hunting is conceptually the same. I have been a fisherman by occupation most of my life, and my only recreation has been fishing and hunting, and it’s all very tied together in approach and strategy
