Hit the Ronde over the weekend
« on: January 29, 2012, 10:43:53 PM »
Went down and fished the Ronde over the weekend...fishing was extremely slow.Saturday the Fish tech checked us and I had the only steelie he had check all day. My dad and brother were skunked which is a oddity they always catch fish. I took my girlfriend down for here first ever steelhead adventure and took her to my little hole she got skunked the first day,but today she hooked 3 and landed 2 of them. We ended up with 7 hooked and 6 landed for the weekend.

How do you fish that hole?  Just let your bait swirl around?

thanks ;)

Nope..its a secret :chuckle:  there is a way to fish that hole and 99% of the people who fish it fish it wrong. And what we were using isnt done by most. I used my traditional setup the first am with yarn and corky with 0 fish..2 casts to my little setup and fish on

I hear the fish stack up in that hole by the hundreds in the early season! I saw you fishing it saturday when the water was murky.  Glad you managed some fish sunday.
Go Cougs!

Nice work!  :tup: I have to get over there for steelhead sometime.  Have caught plenty of trout and smallies in the Ronde, but can never seem to make it over there for the steelies... :dunno:

PNW  were u across the river from with a young kid?


there are a certain few holes on the river when water stays low enough that you can hook 20+ steelhead a day in.

Nice. I've fished that hole only a few times, usually during the week. Done well on the head and tail, definitely can throw some different combos to make it work.

Nope, I stopped in for a milkshake and notice your group. Hopefully the river will cooperate this weekend.
