medusa style

I would figure you would pick up a steelhead or two fishing a minnow so high up. When I troll with my buddy, all the flat line spoons ever get were shaker kings and steelheads. Maybe not the right type of bait? Maybe think gizzard shad, alewife or smelt?

Just thinking out loud.

I would see this as a very worthwhile pursue in the spring when the salmonids come closer to shore following the right current with the right water temperature...kinda like how cohos USED to come into Bronte Harbour in the spring under the right conditions...so my friends had told me (those who used to fish it) Not anymore though...not sure why the fish don't come into the harbour anymore.
