We joined Dave at Bacon Woods for a day of steelhead fishing. The bite was on in the morning until about 10:30, then it died off. We moved to Mill Hollow to try our luck, sure thing, the afternoon bite was on around 2 pm.

Unexpected day steelhead fishing the Vermillion river
zhlédnutí 141Před 5 měsíci
We didn't expect favorable conditions after the rain on Friday, we knew that flow rate, Turbidity and water level would be concerning, but it was still better than staying home on a 50 Deg F day. When we reached the Vermillion, we realized that none of the locals were fishing. Yet, it seemed that we had a 4 hour window early in the morning and had success.

As water temps warming up and the little rain we got during the week helped push some steelhead up the river, we decided to hit the Vermillion river in Ohio.

Started the trip out of Knoxville, TN on November 10 down to Fontana Dam, NC. Took a water taxi from the Fontana Marina to campsite 76, setup camp, fished a little and stayed the night. Headed out to campsite 86 about 12 miles. Fished a little at Hazel Creek. No signal. Headed back to the Marina the next day, had better scenery all the way to the Fontana Dam.

Fishing for Salmon in the Pere Marquette
zhlédnutí 125Před 11 měsíci
Planned this trip four months in advance with friends and my two boys. All the young anglers on this trip never fished for salmon, had to buy their gear the week before and were intimidated by the idea of using a fly rod; so we let them try it without fly rods. The weather was absolutely great the five days we were in the Pere Marquette river. The salmon was continuing their run even though the...

      Glad you liked it. I usually have an 8 gallons water tank and a tandem kayak mounted on the rack, driving at 70 mph. I have not seen any damage or bowing. My confidence in the kayak grows with every trip.

    • @bassamawad
      @bassamawad Před rokem

      When I took it on city roads, I didn’t notice any wind noise. I attribute that to the rack being low profile and mounted farther back on the camper shell. I wish I tested it before I installed the accessories (awning, shower curtain, recovery tracks and shower tank).

    • @bassamawad
      @bassamawad Před rokem

      Now that I’ve had all my accessories mounted and got the truck on the road, it’s not bad at all. Having the rack on the camper makes a huge difference in wind noise.
