NE river report, 9-23-08.....

Fished an eastside trib this morning and got alittle surprise. I'm pretty sure this steelhead is a summer-run:

She had a right pelvic clip, and a pretty nubbed dorsal. She also had the lean, slender build skams usually have. She cranked a big bag just after first light, and fought decent.

My only other catch was this slimeball on skein:

I seen a few kings surface, but couldn't get any to go. Rain would definanetly be good right now, but there are fish to be had.

Hey jon, it's getting g close to that time when we meet up get the drift boat out and pound some fall runs, maybe even a lrb! I'm in Canada for 2. Weeks going to fish the bow for a couple days after I'm done waterfowl hunting, but we need to meet up for sure, maybe even chris's old lady might even let him come out for the float!

Can you talk more about the two-hander that you've got there?

I want one, but I have to say that I am a little too ignorant of their purpose in my targeted areas. What weight, casting methods, line configuration, rod length, river size, etc?

I just don't want to be walking around with 14 feet of cumbersome when 9 feet will do just fine. But my curiosity does have me.

to be honest it looks like he knows what he's doing because he using a Centerpin reel which will out fish any spin fisherman, and the two handle is probably for personal preference, i have a split grip on my Lamiglass it also helps with leverage.

Nice fish by the way, i thought the Huron was dead ever since they quit stocking it.

:lol:, so all I gotta do is get a goofy pin rig, and I'll be a rockstar like everybody else right?!

Doh - my bad (for those who didn't pick up, I thought that he was using a spey rod).
