First time steelhead fishing?

I started fishing 2 years ago regularly, primarily for bass. I went steelhead fishing for the first time this past weekend and landed 3 out of 6 fish I had hooked. The guide I was with told me it was pretty good considering that the average fisherman usually only lands 3 out of every 10 hooked steelheads. I wasn’t sure if he was just saying that to be kind. Is landing 3 out of 6 hooked steelhead good or does it suck?

Here in the Great Lakes area, Steelhead are one of the best fighting fish around. They rip drag, and jump very often.

Landing 3 out of 6 would be a sucessful day in my book. Hopefully you can learn from whatever mistakes you may have made in losing the other 3.

Now enjoy a good fish dinner!!

  4. That is good depending on where you are fishing for steelhead some fisherman go out and not get one fish or a strike at all.It is just a matter of the area some hold fish but the fish are so wary e.t.c. or just overly fished.

  6. You did good bud. It’s rare to land 50% when fishing steelies. They’re naughty! That’s why the guide told you the truth. He’s in the ballpark with 3/10.
