Steelhead Fishing

Fished with Jim Chamberlin and his friend Matt on the Cold Creek in Sandusky, Ohio. Temperature was in the lower 20s all morning and the wind was blowing out of the West at 25 to 30 knots. We had scattered snow showers and occasional sunshine, not the best day to be fishing. We fished mostly with spawn floated under a bobber and then those guys switched over to small jigs, tipped with and without wax worms. They caught around 15 fish using the jigs and the rest of the fish were caught with the spawn. Jim tied up the spawn sacks using the eggs from last years salmon fishing. The fishing was pretty hot when we first started but as the river level receded the fishing slowed down. We landed close to 45 fish, a combination of Steelhead and Rainbow Trout. The largest fish was about 12 lbs.
