I live in Mishawaka, Indiana and we have a run of steelhead starting.Would like to know what you guys think the best baits to use ? The steelhead will be coming in from lake Michigan once the temperture is right. There will also be Chinook and maybe some browns showing up . Thanks for any and all hints and information . Matt (the union plumber/pipefitter from U.A. LOCAL #172) Thanks .............
Hi mattd are you fishing in the St. Joseph river for them? I've made the trip to Trail creek, near Michigan City a couple of times and my favorite lure for all trout is called Moonglow spinners. I like them because they will spin easily in the current so you don't have to crank them at a certain speed to get action like you do with roostertails or mepps spinners. I used to do a little pipefitting myself years ago, but now I am a member of the Steelworkers local 715. Good luck and good fishing to you my brother!
