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

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

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.

Re: Nj fishing steelhead/salmon meet and greet???
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. |

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!!!
