I had a few hours to kill this morning so I decided to try for some Steelhead in the power plant dicharge. I went 1 for 3 on the Steelies. I had the 2 hits bottom bouncing pink spawn sacks and landed the one on a float with a white 1/80 oz. jig tipped with maggots. It was about 5 lbs. and 25″ long. I saw about 20 fish landed between the 4 other anglers that were near me. Most of the fish were on the smaller side, in the 2 lb. – 3 lb. range. All but one came on spawn.
It turned out to be an interesting morning as I managed to land 3 Carp on the same jig/maggot set-up while I was fishing for the Steelies. The largest was just under 13 lbs. It really got my blood pumping when I hooked him, thinking that I had a very nice Steelhead on.
All-in-all it was a very nice way to start the day.
