The #'s game-Coments form report page-attn Panther

I do not always hook a fish every 2 minutes most of the time I average 1-5 fish an hour.
I do not consider myself an "uber fisherman" but have been steelheading for about 20 yrs and can hold my own in a crowd.
I have read many coments on here over the years doubting people can catch dozens of steelhead in a day as if its impossible.
If you move around enough eventually you do find yourself on a nice pod of fish alone and can hook and reel in one after another it does happen.
My best day was years ago on upper walnut got on a pod of 100's of fish it was a dark cloud in the hole.Just about every cast I hooked a fish they wore me out and yes I landed may dozens that day.If you find yourself doubting it can be done maybe you do not have as much experience as you think.
And no I do not snag fish with a flea flicking rod I use noodle rod with bait-egg sacs and minnows- thats what they  eat.(I do fly fish just not for steelhead)
Alright my rant is over go ahead and reply now I can take it........................

Eh, don't let it get to you man.  Those who have been feeshin' for steel long enough know what's possible when it all comes together on the tribs in Erie.  For many of us, myself included, you can't really believe it until you've experienced it. 
 
Fishing is fun.  Ignore the trolls. 

When ever we got into the huge pods ( 75- 100 ) of Steelhead years back it sometimes was harder to hook fish without waiting awhile. The hole would explode as soon as you hooked one and the school would go into a panic mode. It would take awhile sometimes a half hour for things to settle down than bam! We caught big numbers but it took time. I guess you can't hurt anyone with fish stories .......and this site has had it's share!    LOL.......

ain' no thing duud
 
those of us that have fished enough know that even a complete rookie can hAmmer 'em on the right day or with the right offering tied on the end of the line
 
When I was able to fish 2-3 times a week, I had lots of those days.
There doesn't even have to be a hundred fish in the hole either
 
One particular day, I was fishing  the Grand in Ohio.
as i was walking out via a small  feeder creek I spotted a  dozen fish stretched out  in a slow gin clear  shallow run.
I caught and landed 15 fish in a matter of an hour or so
yes, 15 out of 12 fish ...a couple of them were caught twice and one of them might of been caught three times
 
 
 
fish enough, and you'll have those days where they're just "turned on" and will  bite  pret'near anything .
Tie enough stuff on, and you'll have days that they can't resist a  particular offering
 
 
 
..L.T.A.

Back in the good old days,10yrs ago,I had days when I was fighting fish from start to finish,60-70 fish a day,20 a day was normal.Now it's dropped off but when the conditions are right 20 fish days are with in reach,more are possible.However,just getting out there is what it's all about,relax and enjoy it,it's not a life and death thing!

Dang.. And im happy just catching a couple.. Ill probably move to erie if i have a 70 fish day lol

workcanwait....

And no I do not snag fish with a flea flicking rod I use noodle rod with bait-egg sacs and minnows- thats what they  eat.(I do fly fish just not for steelhead)

{/and those 2-3 pnd jacks prob'ly fought longer and harder than those  moldy, beat up  6-7 pnd bucks on the upper end } 

Your right Genie those silver jumping jacks can be a blast on light tackle! Had a great day on the Ashtabula River one Spring day . Nobody around and a temperature about 65 degrees and a nice flowing current full of Jack Steelhead. Could not see a fish in the water but most of the time they spend out once hooked. Just as siver as a new minted coin and acrobatic jump after jump. They just don't quit.
