By: Joe Diorio I’ve never used chartreuse eggs in spawn sacs before. To be honest I saw a FireBlog post a few weeks ago about anglers having success with blue eggs, and was wowed. The eggs looked so good. After seeing it, I wanted to try chartreuse, and see if they worked too. My though […]

By: Brock Kangas I’ve been fishing spawn sacs for trout and steelhead for as long as everyone else has. We know that chartreuse and pink are two of the top producing spawn sac colors. Meanwhile, sometimes you don’t want to be like everyone else. Oftentimes, showing the fish something different is what it takes to […]
By: Travis Wendt When steelhead fishing from a boat tactics have evolved in recent years. There’s so many ways to catch steelhead. Meanwhile, any time I’m trolling plugs, from fall into spring, I run a shrimp on the belly hook. What I believe is it gives the steelhead something extra on the plug to look […]
By: Travis Wendt We are in the heart of steelhead season and the bite has been good on brined shrimp. Using brined shrimp for bait has been a favorite for countless anglers for as long as I can remember. Meanwhile, we all choose to brine or cure them differently. I’m going to focus on the […]
By: James Swearingen This season when targeting steelhead in high water I’ve found that drifting a bag and bead combo has been the most effective technique. The biggest reason I do it is to draw trout and steelhead into your bait when the water is dirty or muddy. I use the bead as an attraction […]
By: James Swearingen It’s been a year now since I’ve been I’ve been introduced to Trout Eggs and I’m here to tell they work. I’ve been using them exclusively and haven’t had to kill any steelhead or trout just for their eggs. The Trout Eggs are fishing as well, if not better than fresh, uncured […]
By: Bojan “Bojangles” Zivkovic Spring has just about sprung in Southwestern Ontario and we all know what that means: March Madness! March is the best time to catch aggressive steelhead before they settle on their spawning grounds. The weather is warming, the bite is improving and anglers are finding steelhead throughout GTA rivers and in […]
By: Kyle Deavers It’s seems like every winter I tend to get the same questions from anglers. They always want to know how I’m curing my eggs. As often as I cure eggs I’m constantly changing what I do to get more bites. Competition is increasing each year and I have to make better eggs […]
By: Toby Wyatt Negative publicity has killed the crowds on the Clearwater River this year, but for the anglers that have come and fished with us the bite has been excellent. To start the season they closed the Clearwater because they didn’t think they were going to have a lot of fish. Fortunately, the river […]
By: Bob Kratzer Steelhead season is upon us. For many anglers that means curing and fishing eggs. As a guide I’m always looking for an effective, yet quick way to cure eggs that my customers and I have confidence in. I need these eggs to have good color, durability and flavor that steelhead can’t resist. […]
