2012 spring steelhead
With record breaking warm temperatures the spring cycle has been accelerated with all types of species found swimming Illinois and Wisconsin's waters. The sucker run is already in full swing in the tribs that flow into Lake Michigan and I would just have to assume that the steelhead cycle is well ahead of last years time line. Last year, fishing was good until the end of April but this year I don't see it lasting into April if these unusual temps hold out.
My buddy Shawn broke in his new setup this weekend on a few Wisconsin Steelhead! My recommendation is to get on it quick before it passes you by.

Diggin that pic. Good luck getting out there and chasing those steelies. Tight Lines
ReplyDeleteThat'd be a major compliment coming from you. Your photos rock the house.
DeleteWe have the same thing happening in Ohio with the warm temps... bad part is tons of rain with it. I can't get out fishing for the steel when the flow is 6-7x normal... by the time it settles I'm afraid the season will be done and it will just be summer fishing...
ReplyDeleteScary shit right? Hope we both didn't miss our shot this spring...
DeleteNice steelie! I fished the Root Sunday with no luck. Threw the box at them with no takers. Only saw one fish caught by a guy drifting spawn sacs. It seemed like the fish where moving in dropping eggs and getting out of dodge. I agree with Blake that the run is going to be over just as soon as it started. Trout and Salmon are temperature sensitive fish and with the water warming rapidly, the fish aren't going to hang in the tribs. for very long.
ReplyDeleteI caught steelies well into April last year. Probably not in 2012
