Do any of you guys fish for steelhead in Michigan.
Not I, but have caught a few by accident.
What did you catch them on.Quote:

I've caught them on jigs and 3" curly tailed grubs while fishing for walleye and minnows under a bobber fishing for pike and smallmouth. Only caught 3-4 over many years of fishing the river.
I was just curious I come from the north west where there are a lot of steel head and we fish a little bit different but we do use salmon eggs and Oki drifters in spinning Glos even drift nightcrawlers. I have never drifted jigs when I used to fish for them was back in the late 50s and 60s
I fish for them. I use spawn bags and 1/32 oz. white leadhead jigs tipped with waxworms. Under a slip bobber, of course :)
