Spinning outfit for winter Steelhead.
Posted on January 24th, 2015While most dedicated anglers are ice fishing, our good friend Darryl Penhale was brave enough to fish cold temperatures to catch some nice steelhead. Darryl normally uses a center-pin/drift rod outfit, but with the freezing temperatures he switched to a spinning outfit which has less and larger guides on the spinning rod and is less likely to ice-up as fast. He found some stretches that were open and used spawn-sacks for bait.
Nice release Darryl. We have a feeling Darryl had to take pretty long breaks in-between fish to warm his hands up (been there, done that!).
