You are killing me with those pics Southwick! I would kill to make it back to the SR! I work for a hockey team now so its extremely tough to make it back for the winter steelhead season. I will no doubt make it back sometime in the next few years though. Now that i've experienced it I have to make it back every few years. Too great to pass up. If anybody one this forum fishes the spring steelhead run near duluth, mn, I would love to piggyback a trip and begin to learn the rivers up near there. There is nothing like hooking up with a beautiful Great Lake run trout!

A couple of us on the boards head up there each spring right around opener (depending on work and the reports from some friends up there), I'll keep you posted and maybe it'll work out and you can come along.

A few more NY Salmon River shots, 1st one is a Mud Shark King Salmon that I landed on a early Dec steelhead trip. Hook-up was late in the day and the battle lasted into the dark a good 45 minute fight on 4lb test leader. Thought I had a giant Steelhead and was very disappointed to see it was a King.

Here’s a old picture of a 19lb4oz big male Steelhead I caught back in the 90s along with a nice fresh silver rocket hen.

Added a few lake effect river snow pictures, days like that I snow shoe in and have entire runs all to myself. I live for days like that on the river + enjoy them the most.

What's the story on this fish? This has to be a borderline world record for a tiger trout.

Not a lot of bruiser trout down my way. We get some pretty little natives up in the mountains though.

Brookies have got to be the prettiest fish out there.

[DonBo]

Close to Almont.....below the canyon.

A few more from a good year. Most of these are caught at about 9000 feet of elevation. None of these locales are secret and all are on public land.

Last thursday I got into a pile of steelhead with two of my buddies!

Im the morning I was getting them on the centerpin, fishing a float and beads(alaska style). Then the fish really switched onto stoneflies mid-morning. I have fished alot of steelhead but have never seen anything like it. We lost track of doubles and had a tripple hook-up!

[reinhard1]

man, that is some great fishing. thanks for the pictures. good luck.
