Favorite Game Fish
"My favorite game fish is steelhead. In fresh water they are the most prized on the west coast. The first run is pretty much all theirs. They pretty much do whatever they want unless you use some heavy heavy tackle. I think people tend to land 1 out of every 3 steelhead they hook. They used to be called the fish of a thousand casts, but if you study the guides and learn from them you can catch alot of steelhead. They are good eating, kind of a cross between a salmon and a trout, they're a rainbow trout but after spending some time in the ocean they kinda taste in-between a salmon and a rainbow trout. They're called steelhead cause there's actually some metal in their head, cause they eat alot of crabs that have alot of natural iron in their shells. Just kidding, actually its because they live in the blue ocean and to camoflouge themselves they adapt to that blue color. When they come out of the ocean theyre like a steel blue on top."

Skokomish River (WA) - 09/03/2010 Jesus, what is going on with this forum. Is there actual talk about fishing? I am really happy. I meant no disrespect to Stazniak about your comment on the netting times. Your information was incorrect just by a little bit, and you admitted it yourself. So, why are you so angry? Are you the EMINEM of Skokomish? Please do not continue to post threats to me on this forum board. I'm just trying to help people out. People get off this forum and go to the Nisqually forum on Gamefishing.com. The Nisqually is heating up. Here are some hints - Fish bobbers with eggs right around Old Pacific Hwy SE. Up river fish the Railroad bridge with the usual corkies and yarn. The Railroad Bridge is accessible via 6th Ave. My friend went down there today and caught two 15 pounders. He caught them both with bobber and eggs. I heard this is the fishing method to go with. I guess the hardcore locals on this forum board will have to man up and fish another river other than their home turf. Good Luck everyone. Staz - Sorry about the Eminem comment. But, I guess I owed you one. Lets not get into a vicious post war. Lets both head to open water. I can tell you care about this river as much as I do. This forum seems to finally be going in the right direction. Let us not ruin it. But, I did think the MetroSexual nickname was really funny. My girlfriend and I laughed for days. Take care buddy. - MetroKing more... |

My Favorite River
Lockwood Creek, a tributary of Piru Creek is one of the finest native trout fisheries in So. Calif. I hope you add it to your list of Calif. streams; many folks fish it and would submit comments. Check out this photo
