This past week I have been fortunate enough to catch the tail end of the Great Lakes Steelhead run. This is an interesting fishery and the fish were in low clear “frog water” milling around and very cautious (for good reason when you see the amount of treble hooks in the tree limbs). This is also a semi-urban setting at times by comparison (please note the concrete bridge), but out of the way spots still exist amongst the crowds. The Sage 7wt. 11ft Z-Axis switch rod was a huge hit and helped to deliver large nymphs with no indicators or spilt shot on a floating line to relatively spooky fish. Like I said nothing about this would draw comparison to fishing on the West Coast, but with nice fish in unexpected places what is not to love?

Nice work, Nate. But we all know the REAL reason you went back there! 🙂
Yeah making a run of my own of sorts!
Welcome home Nate! Nice work on Midwest steelhead, but where are the pics of the Midwest suckers?
Well done young man… we missed you on the TU outing… needed some of that Nate magic on the McKenzie.
