The other big news in the Northwest Indiana region is that we got nearly a foot of rain in a 24 hour period last week. The bad news was that it caused extensive flooding. Interstates were closed for nearly a week, basements were flooded, and schools were closed. The good news is that the high water brought in a tremendous run of Coho Salmon. The average Coho has been around 16 inches, but the numbers more than make up for the small size. An average angler can catch 40 Ho's in a day. A good angler can account for 100 in a full days fishing. One in ten Coho will be over 20 inches.
The Coho fishing has been great and the steelhead fishing has also been good. There are also a few King Salmon in the streams. There are so many Coho that I think it it hard for the other fish to get the bait. The Crew and I have been having a great week. I never thought I was going to land this magnum steelhead.
The Meppsman has been hitting the creeks hard this week Here he is with a fine King.
The Badger has been playing hooky from work the fishing has been so good. Here he is hard at work with a fine King.
Here is John with a fine steelie.
Skein Jesus has been has been spotted on the creeks again. He has been putting up big numbers with his float rod.
Bruce emailed me this pic of his Godzilla Steelhead. He caught the great fish somewhere in Wisconsin, but would not give me the exact location.
