Ok while not Political correct the Oploco thread got me thinking (by the way I am all for C/R nates but do like my pics) So back to the topic How far up should one fish before worrying about the fish spawning and should not be caught off the redds. I caught a nice fish on saturday that hit like no other steelhead I have ever caught. I tossed a pink worm out by a log in a bend of a river that I know has a gravel bottom, before the worm was an inch under the water the fish came up and just trashed the worm, It came as such a supprise I almost missed the hook-set. I mentioned it to a friend at a tackle store and he said "its getting that time of year" which I didnt pay attention to until I read oplocals thread. Im I fishing to high on the river and getting aggresive spawning fish or do they just get more aggresive when the water warms a bit.

PS... I well stop fishing so high if Im guilty, no need to pass any new laws or anything.
