(POSTED BY JOHN) "OHIO STEELIES" This past Monday I decided to take an employee "Tiny" Tim on a little fishing trip. Tim has also become a great friend and fishing buddy. We headed to Steelhead Ally in Ohio just south of Lake Erie. I had a blast and I am pretty sure Tim did too. Now for all those haters out there, don't mock my tight waders - there is an explanation. I "took one for the team" and turned over my comfy, baggy, Orvis waders to Tim while I rocked the spare pair. Needless to say, they clearly didn't fit - so enjoy.
Central Basin Bait and Tackle in Vermillion, OH. I love these little fishing stores.
First catch of the day. We fly-fished most the time; however, we began by just floating spawn sacks down the current with a regular rod and real. Fish on! - after landing this one, I knew it was going to be a good day.
Enjoying the River!
31" - This fish is a HOG! Something to be proud of and Tim's first fish EVER on a fly-rod.
Small Mouth Bass. The steelhead spawn/run is coming to and end. The steelhead will now run back out into Lake Erie. One good indication that the spawn is drawing to a close is the smallmouth move in and can be caught on the river.
30" Steelhead. Nice waders eh? Hope I don't bust a seam.
Fish On! - Look closely.
Tim's last catch of the day. WOW!
