Thabk you for all the great videos on fishing Eric. Hope to see you on the lake this year!

Great video Eric! My personal best steelie is a 16.6 pound buck swinging a stone fly on my 10' 7wt Orvis. I will be moving to the racine kenosha area in a month and all I do is fish and hunt. My wife also just bought me a brand new Tracker Super guide V16. Just finished building it. I pick it up from Bass pro in Gurnee IL in 2 week's I'm pumped. I'll see you out there buddy. Thanks for all the tips. Wisconsin trout and salmon fishing tactics are a little different then Michigan. You've definitely helped. Thanks again and tight lines.🤙

Thanks best of luck with your new boat. 16 lb steelhead is a tank especially on a fly

Eric, I am really enjoying your videos. My PB steelhead is 0. Never caught one. But I'm in the middle of moving to the UP near Escanaba, and I want to learn. Fishing is different in MN, where I'm moving from. The Great Lakes are going to be an adventure! I really appreciate how you show exactly what you are doing! It will give me a little more confidence for my first trip out!

You said it was pretty cold out and I noticed your using braided line. Do you ever have issues freezing up? Or will you switch to Mano? Or do you keep with braid and use a line conditioner?

Your sushi idea isn't half bad...I've been out fishing and run out of bait/spawn sacks and have had to improvise. You'd be surprised what you can catch a fish on when you forget or run out of bait...candy, marshmallows, part of a PB&J sandwich.

Releasing 10lbs and up is a great idea. And you can catch a fresh silver fish anytime of the run. Now is pretty much the best time to get out for them.
