Thanks for the info and offer!

I'm curious as I've never been up there and have always wanted to make the trip--esp after seeing the pics and mounts my friends have. They're ridiculous... My one buddy has a 13 lb brown from up there. Not to mention the salmon and steelies.

As far as reels go, do you go as far to use something like Shimano Sustains and Stellas? I assume such beasts would require super smooth drag systems in moving water.

I'm just trying to get an idea of the type of gear etc.

Deep spool, strong drag! Load it up with 10 lb test. I use alot of flies when I'm up there.

Spend the money on good boots..good waders..and good winter river apparel because once you get a few on the line ull be hooked fishing into deep january in lake efect snow and single digit temps 15lb plus browns happen all the time. Crazy thing is after a few steelies you wontwant to be bothered with the "sluggish" browns lol

Talking Re: Nj fishing steelhead/salmon meet and greet???

I have the President on my ultra lite salmon rod. Best reel on the market that you don't have to go into a glass case to get. My other rod has some fancy Shimano on it. Don't remember the name but its a hell of a reel.

Saharas are my go-to sweetwater reel. 3000s. Def not glass casers as Eddie mentioned lol... Some of those higher end reels are nuts in the $$$ dept.

I'm def interested in taking a whack at the salmon/steelie fishery though. I hear way too many good things about it. Reading everyone's excitement magnifies the curiosity.

Thumbs up Re: Nj fishing steelhead/salmon meet and greet???

You want freshwater fish that can make your arms sore???? This is where it's at!!! Suicide runs are the best. Like Mikey said, leave at 2 am, on the water by 6 or so, fishing all day, catching all day, hopefully. Leave Salmon Country tired with sore arms and a smile on your face. The adrenaline keeps you going. Ahhhhh damn, it can't come soon enough. FISH ON, FISH OFF!!!!! Drag screaming, broken rods, burnt out bearings, LOVE IT!!!
