Early steel can be there one day and gone tomorrow, relax. Those few people that may fish tomorrow because of steelkings post will more than likely go home discouraged. Esp if they expect to find more than a handful of fish.

steel,

Congrads, I'll be right behind you shortly.

Gotta say you Chrome hunters gotta be one of the most selfish fisherman there are.
No where else on here is some young man ostracized for catching and showing nice fish pictures.
He didn't ruin a damn thing. Now we get to read 6 months of crying because because someone put a fishing report on a fishing thread.
If it is such a problem for you guys you should talk to Dan and have all fishing reports removed..
Nothing but pure greed and selfishness..

Nice fish young man..

Steelking,
To put on your gear and show up in August is to be commended.To have enough passion for the sport to go out for steel in August on the tribs is to be commended. To be a free enough spirit to get off your ass and seek your passion is admirable...Go ahead man shout it out from the roof tops...you caught fish. You should be proud! You had a hunch, set out alone and caught fish...hats off to you man. I realize that pride made you post those pictures...because its not that you wanted to show the fish off...you wanted to show how much you love to fish and quite frankly I am glad you did. Don't sweat the scrutiny, who gives a good **** if you got company tomorrow...it will be good company if they love it as much as you do. The old saying is "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" well you can tell a million hopefuls where the fish are and they still won't catch them. Why???? Cause they don't have the heart...

Additionally it is good to see a young guy with the whereforall to get out and enjoy himself in a pure and good way...I spent plenty of days doing worse until I got enlightened a bit. Wasted sunny saturdays in dark smoky bars and wasted sunday piecing together saturdays self inflicted wounds...hell guys, it looks to me like this kids taking a short cut to a good life...who cares if he is KDKA, he may just pull someone else of a bar stool and into some waders. It is easy too look at things as to how it may affect OUR fishing and OUR elbow room...yet we are the first to bitch about kids playing video games and not hunting and fishing like we did...who the hell knows maybe some guy decides to take his kid to Walnut and catch a big plentiful salmonoid and then maybe head to Sarahs at Presque isle to eat a bit of ice cream while they talk about the one that got away...this is fishing boys, this is what its about!! Share the good time!!! Take a friend, tell a friend, take a kid, spread the passion! We need this more now than ever or WE WILL BE BY OURSELVES because NOONE ELSE WILL APPRECIATE it like we do...Why????? Cause we want to keep it a secret...That my friends is selfish, self-absorbed and short-sighted. I will tell you my secret spot because I am always on the quest to find a new one... Are you????

P.S Steelking,
Try some drab shirts, that white shirt spooked fish all the way to Clearfield county...

well said.

Not to say you did not see or catch fish, but why would you make it known to everyone. You most likely had the palace to yourself and now tomorrow when you have someone next to you, you're be complaining. Sunday you should have 6 people next to you and there goes your solitude.

Had to put my 2 cents worth in. You hear it here all the time about crowds and now you invited them.

No offense steel, but salt I have to agree with you....why put that on the Internet??? Its one thing to go to the local bait shop and brag, but why brag to thousands...those fish wont have a chance tomorrow. They'll be snagged up and in the smoker before they have a chance to hit the stop sign hole.

I live six hours away and I still try to be tight lipped...advise and info about where the fish are(IMO) is best shared stream side. I like to use this site for talk about equipment, technique, and horsing around, people should learn how to find fish on there own, it makes the experience waaaaay better. Nothing like doing some looking around and finding a nice pod of fish that no one has fished over for a little while..... Just my opinion

Your acting like this a fragile native fishery endangered by over fishing. These are stocked fish.

Thanks for the post SteelKing.

Steelking and congrats on a beautiful august chrome, good for you. And all you other guy's the bit@# and moan about people posting their accomplishments are pathetic. God you act like their is a secret spot on the tribs or the lake front,or lake for that matter. I first of all don't tell people about the place i find fish, or fish, but guess what reality check i go their to fish and there is 25 other guys their to, how about that. I guess it's no secret, everyone always wines about all you posted a location ,a trib name, blah,blah,blah. The kid was showing of a catch GOOD FOR HIM !!!! Try fishing instead of sitting in front of your computer and bashing someone else and plus i like when their is a good crowd of people around wherever i fish. I have no problems of hooking up in the double digits. As long as people are polite friendly and use manners, I'll help anyone out give them whatever they need to hook some crome. This is just a joke anymore about what anyone does, if we would take more time too worry about yourselves than everybody else we all might get something accomplished!!!!

NO, that does not look like a salmon. And no, it is not cool to post this stuff here blabbing it to the masses, I dont care how much you enjoyed yourself and were rewarded for your early season efforts. These early season fish are skittish and can only be had with well presented techiques. That means that they wont hit if they have already seen 15 spoons, 18 different colors of pb, and an assortment of wolly buggers. You see what I'm saying? You were rewarded for sneeking under the radar and getting a few early season steel but now you just put the dam radar on the map for all to see. It is all about the essence of early steel, knowing that your catching em when everyone else thinks there is no point of even looking at their steel gear yet. You ruined that essence. Share with your friends, not the masses, come on man!!!! Dont call me selfish, this was a selfish act posting those pics here.

Thanks for the post SteelKing.

I think you guys are missing my point all together... If I caught some early steel I just wouldn't post it on the Internet for the lurkers to see...not busting balls just offering an opinion and I get group into so called A-Holes for it.... I guess if I don't think the same way the rest of you do I'm an a$$.

Also I realize it not a native fishery, but If you don't think its over fished you are delusional..although some times the overfishing is comical...nothing like the Stop Sign hole during a full blow combat fishing event

What? Seriously... what?

Essence? Essence of what?

Come on man. SHARING pics and a report is selfish again how?

Blabbing that a few trout made a "false" early morning/dark run to a creek mouth? They will continue to do that for weeks and with a good stained/heavy creek flow may even stick around for a few extended hours. BTW, that stained flow will take the "skittish" right out of them. They are skittish because the water is warm, low, and CLEAR, they are trout.

What RADAR? If there is a radar for steelies entering the tribs then maybe you are confusing it with the bullseye you are placing on the WCO report page. Soon, the warden report page will announce the sighting of early morning "false" runs and a few anglers hitting the wall early in the am catching a FEW, early visitors, happens EVERY year as excited Steelie anglers anticipate the upcoming season. What is the big "secret"? Why don't you email the WCO and lodge your complaint with them. I think you will get a similar response as most will give you on this page. Get over it. As long as PA continues to stock this will happen EVERY year, why do you assume that this needs to be protected from public knowledge. I would be pretty certain that pretty much anyone that knows anything already knows that there are a few steelies lurking somewhere close. Soon enough all the tribs will be covered up with wader wearing anglers, I would venture to say even you. Go to the Walnut parking lot long about December. Last year I saw vehicles from ALASKA and OREGON, if they are coming here to fish for steelies then GREAT! If they are coming from where "true" ocean going Steelies are to fish here, then that should give you a pretty good idea of how lucky we are to have such a fishery to share. Put the RADAR on the National News. There are MORE than enough steelies to go around and its not just your Lake Erie permit that is paying for them. If you think you are being shorted, give me a call long about late October, mid November and I'll hook up 30 or so in a morning for you out in the boat.

This site was created to share our knowledge, hints, and experiences for our love with other anglers. I know many members of this site that are more than happy to help out guys with questions and problems whether it is in the boat or on the streams, FANTASTIC all of you deserve thanks. IF anyone needs to re-evaluate "selfishness" you may want to look in the mirror.

I am not trying to single you out, but I am tired of seeing all the criticism flying around here aimed at guys doing what the site is for. This site used to a great venue to share ideas and reports and questions, some of you have ruined it for many. The host is FishUSA, I am sure that they encourage all the discussion in the world about steelie fishing because their sales will increase dramatically as soon as the first early runners become more abundant.

For everyone that was worried about a crowded Walnut this morning, there were some fish, and a few people. Actually there were about 6 kids fishing the wall and a couple adults.

Since I live here maybe I should start checking Godfrey and and Trout Run on a weekly basis and report any fish sightings here. Really push some of the guys over the edge.

The first shot crossed the bow and it's not even September yet. Newsflash - Erie's steelhead fishery was ruined years ago from all of the media - print and internet. That fella is smart getting a head start because by Labor Day it's going to be elbows and a$$holes
