By: Todd Daniels All eggs are not created equal. Depending on the time of year and species I’m targeting I cure my eggs differently, and you should too. What I’m looking for this time of year is color – the right color egg. The reason is we have constantly changing water conditions this time of […]
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: 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: 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: 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. […]
By: Chris Shaffer With one major product launch in the rear and another weeks away I called Pautzke pros Stephen Shen of STS Guide Service and Andy Bliss of Chasin Tail Adventures and asked them if we could float New York’s Salmon River and make a video using our new Trout Eggs and the soon […]
By: Chris Shaffer A few years ago when we came to Lake Ontario in the dead of winter it was a chore to find open water. Many of the tributaries were choked up with ice. Some of our well-known pro staffers couldn’t even get their boat on the water. So far this winter that hasn’t […]
