Last night I was on a local river, I got there about 4:00pm
I started using a 1/8oz pink and white first cast jig. I fished the jig for awhile, it did not produce. So I switched to a size 12 fluorescent red glitter corky with some white yarn. I fished that for a while and got nothing. I then added a shrimp tail still nothing. I put a new leader of 10# seaguar fluorocarbon and a size 1 red owner needle point a small piece of bright orange yarn, and a small shrimp tail. The first cast I felt the fish grab the bait. I set the hook and missed it :p the fish took my last shrimp. I made a quick cast in the same spot w/ just the orange yarn. My line stopped and I felt the spongy feeling of fish and set the hook hard. The fish came clear out of the water 3 or 4 times, then she made two good runs. It was a 7-8# summer steelhead . That was the first fish I caught, with just a piece of yarn.

How may have caught steelhead only on yarn or use just yarn ?


Also how mamy use summer steelhead eggs for bait? I have caught several steelhead on fresh un cured summer steelhead eggs. How may have cured SS eggs ? Thanks in advance.....Ross
