    Great video guys! Glad you finally got 'em Bill! I like that you mentioned the "turbidity level". It's been in the single digits on the Mohawk (near Albany). Last night it climbed to 300...then 500! 300 is beyond chocolate milk, and at 500 we can be like Jesus and walk on water 😂. Be well...tightest of lines...no skunkin'!

    I really like fishing there in the cold months but it can be a little unpredictable from one week to the next. Great video. Way to stick with it.

    Steelhead action has heated up on many tribs...just had a couple of great days (Fri/Sat), went 5 for 5 with the sons on a 1 hour outing, then caught a bunch of pike out of Olcott yesterday. This warm start to March has ramped up the bite for sure. I enjoy Spring Steelhead fishing more so than the Fall...ever try throwing a 1/8 or 1/16 oz jig (go heavier in faster current) with a white paddletail swim bait on and just slowly reeling it in? No float necessary. Simplifies the gear and you'll be surprised with the results. Minnows and jigs reign supreme this time of year. On the downside, I think this warm March is going to shorten the season by several weeks...will have the boat out early, time for bass.

    Thought about going up to try an Ontario trip this week I got some on the Erie tribs not to long ago it was pretty slow and there where tons of smolts in some spots almost hard to fish around them. Great video bill, I just want to go where there’s fresher fish😂

    Great meeting you out there Bill and Mike. Wasn’t the best day but managed a few fish on jigs. Glad you decided to head down in the marsh and avoid the skunkin’. All fish are nice fish, even the smaller ones. Great day to be out, and a pleasure meeting with you and fishing together.

    Just curious, is it really necessary to tip jigs with a wax worm? I've fished tribs all over the great lakes region with maribou and tube jigs and never once tipped it with wax, shrimp or spawn bag and I feel like I've had tremendous success through out 25 years of chasing these great fish. Great video by the way!

    Going tomorrow to ontario tribs. Hoping recent snow melt and rain bring the creeks up, its needed for sure. Last rain made almost no difference to low water. We'll see.

    Another good day at the dirty Burt. I was up last week and it was so low. I did the walk of shame up the hill. I did land a nice steelie on the Niagara later on though.

    Is the majority of that dead drifting? Or do you find twitching it works?
    Also, do you find steelhead to be pickier than the browns? I do…..

    • @BillMikesAnglingAdventures
      @BillMikesAnglingAdventures  10 месяцев назад +1

      just the occasional twitching - fall browns are tougher - now they want to eat everything

    @Drewsfishingtrips 10 месяцев назад +1

    Last time I went there I only had a pike, been having to work personally no matter what creek I've gone to, but hopefully with the warm up and some rain we will get some fresh fish and more active fish.

    Why do you think as you said that next year will be phenomenal for browns? Im assuming next year means fall this year.

    • @BillMikesAnglingAdventures
      @BillMikesAnglingAdventures  10 месяцев назад +1

      much better runs of smaller Browns this past fall and lower creel / 1 fish limit helps - lot more catch and release going on too so more fish will return for another run 😁

    • @ChrisG9978
      @ChrisG9978 10 месяцев назад

      This year's run of browns was phenomenal...if Fall '24 can meet or exceed that it'll be an outstanding year for the Ontario tribs.

    Havent seen any vids lately of that spot you guys used to hit. Small falls on your left, deep hole run with a small sand bar across in the creek. Hook up and walk em down the run walking next to that bridge wall on the concrete. Guy out on the sand bar with his dog in one episode. No access there anymore?
