Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: Snowman on July 26, 2010, 06:17:30 PM: Well it is a no secrete spot lol... Reiter, I live across from the hatchery. They opened it early this year. Fishing has been pretty good, but getting slow now as the water drops.

Post by: Ripper on July 26, 2010, 06:23:48 PM: Good job Snowman, now that fishing has slowed you can concentrate on killin' some big ol' bears!
Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: Snowman on July 26, 2010, 06:29:37 PM: Yep that is the plan! Seen some really nice ones so far this year an have fished with a couple of them in close proximity. :)

Post by: trippledigitss on July 27, 2010, 11:39:38 AM: HEY - thats my secret hole!! :chuckle: Nice fish mang. Has there been alot of people up there lately? My buddy was up there last sat about 9-10am and he said there was only a handful of guys?! What did you get them on, drift gear, spoon, floats?? So that was earlier this year and its getting low & tougher now huh? Was thinking about heading up there this weekend or maybe at the mouth of the Wallace but I'm supposed to go out to Arlington to get some yotes off a chicken farm.... hmmmm... what should I do.... :dunno:
Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: Snowman on July 27, 2010, 12:08:32 PM: Well I'm still catching them. The pic with my 2 fish was last friday. I'm drifting an using floats, but I tie all my own flies and jigs. As far as people, the numbers are low which is good. Best time is first thing in the am or the last 2 hours of light. The mouth of the wallace has been slow an they closed the king season early this year. The only advice I will give is don't use the standard gear as they have been bombarded by it all season so far. Use stuff that you would look at as it won't work. Smaller the better!!! Hope fishing will be good for ya. :) I'll be down saturday morning fishen as well as tonight, tommorow an the next till bear opens up LOL... :)

Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: trippledigitss on July 27, 2010, 12:17:51 PM: Thanks for info man. I can barely tie a knot let alone my own flies/jigs! :chuckle: Under a float I would normally use a maribou jig, like 1/4oz with purple & black feathers or a 1/8oz gamasatsu yarn tail jig and maybe a chunk of sand shrimp - are you saying stay smaller than that and away from the norm like the pinks & stuff? Do you use the pink rubber worms at all? I also like spoons, the rvrfshr & or the BC Steels - seen any taken on those? Thanks again.

Post by: trippledigitss on July 27, 2010, 12:18:41 PM: Dude - from the pics it looks like you are SLAYING them up there! Right on - nice looking chromers!
Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: Snowman on July 27, 2010, 12:21:39 PM: 1/16 oz jig head and if you use pink, use a really soft pink. Pm coming your way.
Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: trippledigitss on July 27, 2010, 12:22:47 PM: Right on - thanks again!

Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: johng on July 29, 2010, 10:02:08 PM: Man... what does a guy need to do to catch fish at Reiter like that? :dunno:

At the very least I am trying a 1/16 oz jig next time out. Been using 1/4 oz'ers and been catching squat.

Nice work Snowman!

:chuckle: Put your time in. I spend quite a bit of time fishing and always tying new jigs and flies up. Never stick with one jig or fly, change often till you find the one. ;)

Title: Re: Some Steelhead Pics
Post by: 270Shooter on August 13, 2010, 03:10:32 PM: Its been pretty slow for us, I have only been down for like 3 days total so I haven't caught very many. My buddy and his dad have benn doing ok. My attention seems to drift away from my bobber about the same time it goes down, so that hasn't helped either :chuckle:. I'm not going tonight, I might be down there sunday or monday though, not sure if I can or not yet.
