The roe bags I usually make are about dime sized, but in water with more color I use one that are a bit bigger.  As for colorados and worms, I have hit all of my steelies on the bigger sized blades, and 6"worms!!!

Hey Dan!  i say we go for it.  i want to share some steelie fish porn of my own also 

[FishiN AddicT]

Someone tells me that ghost shrimp works very well also.  where can you get these critters and do they have to be kept alive?

[Big Steel]

You need a license now for them, a saltwater license!!!!  You will need a Shrimp pump, and I usually just go out to whiterock on the low tide and walk the beach looking for small holes with farely soft sand. 

[FishiN AddicT]

so you can only catch them with a pump or can you use a shovel and dig them up?

[Fish Assassin]

Most local beaches have them. Yes, you have to keep them alive. Dead ones stink big times

[Big Steel]

You could try digging them with a shovel, but you would probably be there a long time.  Those little buggers are pretty quick and they are usually down over a foot!!!!!

[Floater]

how much is a steelhead tag anyways?

[Big Steel]

About $28!!!  A small price to pay for that kind of excitement don't you think!!!!  Go check out the Steelhead thread and you will see the kind of excitement I'm talking about!!!!!

If you are only going to try it one more time, then you might be disappointed. To catch a steely takes patience!!!!!  No january is not to late, late Jan it usually starts picking back up.  There is an early run of steelies on dec, then the main run slowly starts coming in and by the end of Feb it is usually pretty good.  I was catching nice chrome steelies until the end of march last year, when I packed it in for the year.

If i dont get a fish on at least or even see a fish than i might not get into it. If i see someone with a fish or landing one thant for sure im gona be hooked lol.

[golfnut23]

i remember 1 steelheading trip there were 10 of us and the same guy hooked 2 at different parts of the day, and no one else. Lucky bastard Ive been on a couple steel head adventures and haven't taken anything home yet, but aim very determind this year

[Floater]

Same im switching to fly and im gona practice on trout and steelhead for next years HOs, oh they are gona pay for letting me down this year.

[Floater]

Thats another thing im afraid of standing the whole day dying to get a fish on and when i do chance are i will lose it since steelhead sounds like very good scrappers. I dont know about the rest of you but not getting to feel the fish to release or kill depends on the situation, I just die inside when i feel the slack.
