Max is right, I have went fishing for Steelies once this past week, but If I come on and say.... Yep didnt catch anything! Everytime I went and didnt catch 1, then It would seem like Im a bad fisherman lol. But when I do get 1 baby I will let you know and have a picture to boot. I have pics from my last Steely outing, but There not even worth looking at. Not fish or anything.

I was using a Purple #5 Blue Fox the whole time, I think that my main problem was that I hit the river in the afternoon, when I really should have hit it early morning.

Im hittin it Early next time, I'll Keep u updated.

hey the1fishingpro when did you catch your last steelhead what time of the day was it? i think if we hit the lewis high like at lucia or the lewis low like a daybreak or lewisville park anytime in about a month the steelhead will be in thicker and we could catch them in the morning or at night, i allready have a few spots scouted and i think we can do pretty good this winter

Any possibility you could put the pictures on here?
You have to sign up for myspace to view profiles, and I don't feel like signing up just to view the pictures, so if you could attach these or upload them to photobucket then post them back here???

Went Steelhead fishing Early Halloween Morning. Saw a few steelhead, but couldnt get any of them to bite. Saw a Old spawned out Silver and took a few casts at it. After about 10-12 casts I finaly convinced the old silver to take a bite at my spinner. Hooked the brute, but hook fell out at bank. Sorry I couldnt take any photos. Put up a pretty nice fight for a spawned out fish. Im estimating he was between 12-14lbs. Me only using 8lb test. He felt like a log that I couldnt pull in no matter what. Might hit the river again tomorrow morning, I'll keep you guys updated. Tight lines!

If u have a profile on photobucket, It should show u browze keys on the right side of the page after u log in. Click browze, then u pick a picture thats saved in ur pictures file. then Load the pic onto photobucket.

Next it will show u ur picture on photobucket. You can go to edit pic and change the size u want it to be, I use Email/website size. It will give u codes on the right side of the picture. Copy and paste the very bottom code, then paste it in the post you are wanting to show the pic in. There you go my friend. Hope that helps!

Yes Travis, by clicking on the link I was able to see your steelhead rapped in Tin foil. Photobucket is mainly used so that you dont have to use a link as shown by Derrick. But you are free to post your pictures how ever you like.

Very nice steely man, keep em coming. Today I happened to go steelhead fishing and see a couple Steelys in a shallow spot. So I casted a few times and Bam! a steely speeds right past my spinner! I was like WoW how did it miss? So I casted a few more times and Bam! another steely misses the spinner again. I kept trying, until finaly the steelys had all they wanted of me and took off. I'll be out there again soon, hopefully bring home a motha next time.

ps - Great job on figuring photobucket out, did my post help at all?
