Walnut Access ? what to use?
Was hoping to get some help about catching steelies at Walnut Creek Access. I never fished for them but heard it is a great time. What do people use to catch them and are Spoons recommended at the mouths or something else? What brands, color, and size spoons are best for steelhead? Also, what kind of bait should I use when they get up stream a little? Thank you for all your help and best of luck this year.

Single eggs on a #14 circle hook
Skein or egg sacks with a #14 gold trebble hook.
Minnows -live or dead on a #10 red circle hook.
Little Cleos -small blue/silver
Black Mini Foo with a maggot
Power Bait -Pink, Lime, Orange or Rainbow Sherbert on a #14 trebble hook
All with at least a 18" florocarbon leader
Only use trebble hooks if you plan on keeping the fish.
If water is clear use 4lb mono or a florocarbon 4 or 6lb leader.
Stained water 6 or 8lb

I will be up this sunday, depending on lake condisions,,, if i fish the lake i will use spoons,, cleos or paper waight dare devels in colores from blue and silver to black try them all.....Or jigs 1/64 to 1/32 on a jiging bobber 3 to 6 ft down... or the good old power bait on a size 12 trble hook try it all and you might catch one???
the thing is watch the other guys and you will see for your self...
good luck and keep fishin...6lb line with a 4 lb leader will do you good...do away with your 12lb test???
Fish like you are fishing for trout in other streams... good luck new guy......

In regards to Tippy's post...
It is not my fault you cannot catch fish! You just need to keep getting spoon fed by your mamma!!! LOL Thanks everyone, except the dork Tippy who actually took the time posting the done****picture, for all the tips. Best of luck this season.
