Fall Steel Trolling
Anybody have any suggestions on set-ups for trolling off the mouths of the tribs for fall steel? Thanks

My best suggestion would be to stay out of casting range.
I don't always snag fish, but when I do... I choose Little Cleos I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

Talk to the chartist...he's probably the most skilled steelhead troller on these boards.

Shallow diving plugs, IE Renosky's, Thundersticks, around 50 feet back, off of boards. You don't HAVE to focus just on the stream mouths. They cruise all along the shoreline. PS: Speed kills.
Get Informed, Get Involved, And Make A Difference. Step Up, or Step Aside The next time you say "Somebody should do something", remember that YOU are somebody. GL

Orange or red or black colored shallow plugs. Spoons work well, but when I hook a fish I like to slow down a little, and the spoons usually get hung up and lost.

I was thinking about spoons on cookie dipsy's down boards as well as shallow reno's and long a's. Basically fish the plugs like early walleye night trolling. You guys think cookie dipsy's will be overkill?

Spoons on riggers at 5' with long 100' leads and bright plugs on boards. Run over the lines at trout run with a board I enjoy that.

How deep do you usually run? Like 8-15ish or like 15-25ish?
