FRESH STEEL IN THE MILE CREEKS

I've been steelhead fishing since the 80's and if my memory is correct, I don't remember seeing this many fresh steelies this late in the year. We clean fish for anglers and saw a few yesterday that were real fresh & real silver. Not hogs but fresh! They came from 20 Mile & 16 Mile. This past rain fall must of been significant enough for them to easily make their way from the lake. We have also seen anglers at 7 Mile the paast few days. No doubt that by the weekend the creeks will be low & clear again. On Saturday the consevation club will stock 7 Mile for the Boy Scouts so that may be off limits untill noon. It's a great thing in my eyes to see the youth getting out & fishing.

    corn & velvetia in case you get hungry you can eat your bait. IT tastes better than grubbs.

    Walked 16 from mouth to freeport and nada, then walked 20 from mouth to rt 5 and nada again. Was really hoping that some smallies would have came in, I sure would with all of those smolts in both. The walleyes will be feasting soon.

    I got some steelhead outta 20mi and upper elk during the week before trout opened. Even then it was tough to find anything to cast to. Maybe walnut still has a couple.

    Aw come on Kirk.  I've only been fishing for steelhead for 8 years, and this has  been the worst fall and spring of those eight years. The spring of 2004, the east side creeks were loaded until May. I had many double digit
    days in April. I caught my largest steelead olf the season, almost 12 pounds, on Memorial Day. This year I've walked several creeks from Rt. 5 to the mouth, and haven't seen more than a handful of fish, and those were old and dark.

    Nate, if you're out there, you remember that spring?  I remember fishing
    with you a few times, when there were actual runs in 4 mile, and 7 mile.
