Still Steel In The River

I hear there are plenty of fish still in the River. If you haven't gone up I would suggest a trip very soon. Guys are having the season of thier lives up there. Don't miss out if you can help it!

good news...anyone fishing tuesday?
 

It is legal to fish for them, so I don't see a problem with it.
I for one am not a member of LOSA, or any other organization.
I try my best to treat the rivers, people and fish fairly, as most people do.
What I can tell you is there are still fish in the river and people are catching them. People are fishing mostly for "Black" or "Spawned Out" fish. I should think most of the spawning is over.

They're still around--beats playin golf w/ the Habs

Will the SR get a spring run?

Spring is almost over- They get more of a drop back run to the lake. But... I think there is a chance to hook a steelhead in the SR anyday of the year...

TRAVI42 i'm thinking of going on wed. do you think its worth going,are the steels still in the river.

 
dude, i cant tell you about wed.  i didnt get to fish.  but i can tell you i wish i was...good luck if you do and sorry for the late response.  i have been moveing the last two days.  a CARLOAD at  a time.  not fun.  any day on the river beats that.  and like metalslayer said,  there still around.  good luck fishing,  travis

I don't get it...does LOSA(whatever that is) promote fishing over actively spawning fish?
 
Also, why would you want to fish over actively spawning fish?....Greed?

WB--I'm pretty sure those 1st pods of steel aren't there to spawn---can anyone say Ponderosa

Pretty sure "actively spawning" means in the act of laying eggs and spreading milt--you know, the big white plume that gives fishies away.

By your loose definitions/connotations/opinions I am actively spawning! 

Let's bring come logic back tot he river ok?

Yes, that is what I meant when I said "actively spawning"
 
I mean I've caught steel in PA that have been leaking eggs, but they weren't spawning over redds, if they were I wouldn't have targeted them....why would you target fish that are spawning, that doesn't seem to make any sense.

Folks.....LOSA is expecting our members to simply give actively spawning fish...a chance to do their thing..... We know that in most places here on the South shore successful spawning doesn't necessarily lead to wild adult fish....as we have across the pond. Remember we are an organization that is International, and across the pond Canada closes their natel waters until the end of April to do just as we are trying to state...give the spawners a chance to do their thing...and many of us fish those wild fish waters.
 
There is nothing in our code of ethic's that is truly unreasonable.....as chrome stated in an earlier post....it's pretty logical stuff.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Again the subject is Steel in the River.....there are still steelhead in a lot of rivers.....mostly drop backs ...but in one local stream two days ago I witnessed a group of fresh steelhead spawning.....and Nope...I didn't fish to them....
