Couple MI steelies

Unread postby wmihunter » Fri Mar 01, 2013 1:42 pm

My first and second ever both from the same hole about 5 days apart. I caught the second one tonight! Not a ton of fight in 35 degree water...

Thanks guys! I like this better than deer hunting on some ways. I like the change of pace.

i really need to get in to steelhead fishing... i see pictures and hear about how much fun it is. Being a newbie to MI, I had never really heard of it until I moved here. Now I just need to find some spots... (not the 6th St. Bridge in GR with a billion other guys though! haha).

Mibowhunter, I hear ya I fished 6 th street 1 time and never been back all these guys acting like the own the river. Although my little brother manages to limit out almost everytime he is there. I like to go north Muskegon, white or pere Marquette. I do more salmon fishing than steelhead, salmon seem easier to catch/line lol.

gogebicbuckslayer, have you ever fished Crockery Creek for trout or Steelies? I know of some good holes that almost always have plenty of steelhead in them, but when the economy tanked a lot of people started fishing more and the honey holes were found by a lot off people. My neighbor said he used to catch over 100 steelies a year out of one hole (he's retired), but a couple years ago he quit fishing it because it doesn't matter what time of the day or night he goes there somebody is fishing it. I hear a lot of people do good all over that creek though.

The holes I'm talking about are in the Ravenna area. Crockery dumps into the Grand river not to far from Nunica. I have helped plant Brook trout in it for the Ravenne conservation club for several years, except for last year when I let my membership lapse. I may go to the meeting this Tuesday to rejoin, catch up with the guy's and check into helping out with planting some brookies again. They usually get 9"-12" fish to plant.
