Guide Strategies for Great Lakes Winter Steelhead

It’s getting to be that time of year when CVTU members start dreaming of the late fall/early winter trips to Pulaski and the Salmon river. Steelhead are the fish of dreams, and the Salmon river is a world class Steelhead river. We’ll start switching from tying nymphs & dries to neon eggs patterns & gaudy bright stoneflies. Stories of past trips to Pulaski will be told and re-told. Lies will be embellished.

Of course we’re not sure if we can pull off a CVTU trip this year, due to COVID. However, this article from Fly Fisherman magazine should help us get prepared for the bitter cold, but extremely rewarding Steelhead season. Lets hope we can make a trip in the coming months to chase some chrome.
