Ok, this nuts.  Christmas gear is already in the stores.  Remember back in the day,  when Thanksgiving more than watching the Lions play their game?  The smell of turkey while you watched the Hudson’s Christmas Parade go through downtown Detroit.  I think my favorite float was of Under Dog,  must be a beagle thing.  […]

When water levels, and river bottoms allow, using crankbaits for catching steelhead can be very productive.  Whether you are near the 6th Street Bridge on the Grand River,  walking the river near the Foot Dam, or fishing the Huron in our backyard, cranks can get you fish.  I have just a short list that I […]

Ok, now that I’ve got most of the guy’s attention. Actually a cold one does sound good right now.
 Anyhoo,  with the forecast of almost solid showers and storms for almost a week straight, anglers can start getting their steelhead gear organized and ready for action with the onset of cold weather ahead.   From bug […]

Reels, well picking one out doesn’t seem as difficult as getting a rod for what you want to do.  One thing you will want to do, and for some mixed reasons, is to make sure the reel you choose comes with a spare spool.  Doesn’t matter if it a fly or spinning reel,  having […]

Once you’ve picked up your reels it is decision time, yet again.  What type of line do you use while fishing for steelhead?  Answer is that you have some options available to you
Fly fishing is a little more involved.  Get ready to spend about another $50 plus to get your spools filled.  Which reminds me, […]

Yesterday was just another day, did the work thing, got to babysit my niece in the afternoon and in the early evening, my brother and sister-in-law came to take her home.  When they got back to Monroe they took their beagles, Wally and Shiloh for a walk with the baby in her stroller.  Just […]

One of the things the fly guys have over those who choose the spinning outfits is choices.  Lots of choices, from the length of the rod to the weights available.  For the strictly spinning folks, that translates into actions like light, med. light, medium and med.  heavy. Each length and weight can be used […]

This is really my weak spot,  I have an assortment of flies.  Lots of wooly buggers, egg sucking leeches, some nymphs and a few others.  Some in black, some olive and few browns.  The blacks have worked the best for me though.  I have to admit though, most of my info came from Don […]

I am going to include using spawn as a live bait presentation, rather than do something on its own.  Just not going to write a whole about it since the whole prestation factor was included back when the discussion was on using roe for catching salmon.  Just downsize the test of the line you […]
