everywhere, i've heard reports of fish from the upper boundary all the way down to the canal. There is so much water to choose from, just go and find a stretch that u can call your own. I think that would be your best bet, find water "U" like to fish, and learn it, instead of just taking advice and going to different spots and guessing all the time.

Thank bud i appreciate it! looks like we wont be fishing n e time soon. this weekend is probably a write off due to the rain!
Good advice given by younggun there . It's all about exploration and moving around . You'll find most don't like to give out their personal preferred spots , especially over the internet , due to drawing crowds to their favourite spots. In time you'll do well and may find yourself keeping your own secrets too. The secret with Steelies is persistence and putting in lots of time . I've been out 5 times and had fish on or caught on 3 of those trips . Only one was a more then a half day out , but then I live walking distance to some of my favourite spots and can go out for just 2 hour excursions as well as take walks down to the river to see what's happening there  ;D . Just waiting for days to get a little bit longer and I can go after work again too .

1 for 4 so far this year, the fish came on Christmas Day, 14lb wild doe... Best christmas present ever!!

The last time I was out was on the 28th, I have been too sick to go out. It's been a very bad cold this time around, a hard one to shake.

Cheers,
Nicole

Well done Nicole!  ;D

I would have been out for a few hours on Christmas Day too but there was no way I was going to be able to get my vehicle anywhere near the river with all that snow.
