Old Steelhead Pics

[badger]

Was sitting around drinking beer and looking through old pics when I came across these.

These are all at Conneaut and that's me in about half of them.

Thought Dude & some of you might like to see them.

First one is me back when I had hair.

My buddy George Holliday

Awesome photo's Dale. Yup I know Conneaut Creek pretty good but I hit the Ashtabula river pretty hard. I fish like 4 minutes from my house.

Looks like you were hitting the deeper areas, was it by "The Dump"?

Thanks for sharing. :smiley_coolpeace:

Jeff, a few of those pics are right at the trestle before the creek makes the bend towards the lake.

Yea I picked up on the trestle photo. Once in a while a buddy and I troll the river in that area. 99.9% of the time I am fly fishing up stream.

Ooooh, I would not want to run into your buddies in a dark alley that ya fish with, lol. Just kidding.

Matt, when them steelies start stacking up, maybe you could ride up there with me and we could meet Dude at the creek.

 

[Matt]

Sounds good to me!

I will be home Monday or Tuesday for 5 or 6 days. I will check it out guys and let ya know if they are hitting. :smiley_clap:

Gotta be a big ice jam right now.

 

[Riverdude]

My hot spot should be open but I wont swear to it yet. I have been down at the rig for over a month. This spot has some good moving water and it's not deep. I will check and advise.

 

[badger]

Send me some coordinates and I'll check it for you Jeff. After all, what are friends for? :smiley_bril:

 

[Riverdude]

I got a call into one of my buddies that fish this same spot. Besides I will have to blind fold you and Matt, spin you around 10 times before we get there, lol.

 

[Riverdude]

Well Boys, here is the deal..................River is screaming and muddy, not jammed up with any ice. My buddy tells me by early next week it should be good to go depending of course on the weather. When the river is screaming like this it usually brings dem Steel Heads up. :smiley_clap:

 

[Matt]

Dude, I have Monday off. If you say jump, I will be there.

 

[badger]

I have work on Monday.

We have plenty of time ahead to get this planned out.

 

[Riverdude]

I hope I will be home Monday Dale. I will let ya know.

 

[badger]

You have my number Jeff, give me a buzz and let me know what you see.
