Steelhead video teaser coming soon!

Been floating some lake ontario tribs and filming with Tony Gugino from http://www.salmoncountryguide.com/ the past few days. It was an epic trip full of great footage. Planning on getting back up there in January to get a few final shots. The video should be completed in the Spring of 2012! Here is a few pics and clips to tease the avid Steelheader.

  

Spring Vermont Steelhead -Lake Champlain Trib

Vermont Steelhead fishing at its best. We must have thrown 20 diff. flies at this fish. With a slight rain we flung a San Juan and bam! 

Lake Ontario Tribs: Egg day all day!

two days till lake ontario tribs!

Connecticut atlantic salmon have been loving black/purple patterns. Jumped a fish in 15 lb range (easily) on monday which saw flow of 3 ft usgs in Beacon Falls,CT. Also talked to a local who has landed an 18 lb fish this fall. We both witnessed a monster roll at the Pines Bridge Road bend.  On a different note swinging intruders has not been producing in salmon river area. Instead eggs and more eggs are the way to go...with weight. 

Beautiful phone shot of steel at Saugatucks 1st dam in Brackish water! 18 inches. If anyone has heard of a steel caught in CT let me know. 

Had stripers on my mind earlier. Why not tie something up for the spring?
