Salmon creek steelhead

[@petepettit3098]

I grew up near Klineline. Fished it constantly from late 60's through the 90's. First salmon, first and largest steelhead 23lbs, biggest searun 25 inches and many limits of trout and steelhead. I do miss fishing it but am now on the North Ilympic Peninsula. I just read they have extended steelhead into May. March used to be an excellent month.

[@petepettit3098]

By the way, love the spot were you were fishng. Glad it still fishes well. Secret is safe with me. I loved the upper creek because nobody fished it. I knew that creek intimately from 72nd ave to felida bridge. Oh the memories.

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

Ty for watching 😁 truth be told that's the only Steelhead I've ever caught at that spot, I've caught tons of Cutthroat there though. Ty again and have a wonderful day 😀

[@daviddohman8418]

You can walk down to the creek next to any public road bridge using the public right away. Once at the shore up or down stream using navigable waters act right of way to the 100 year flood mark. You trespass only if you enter or leave thru private land

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

That is true only on what the government deems navigable waters, Salmon Creek unfortunately isn't considered navigable

Grew up fishing salmon creek, love it. Number of bass back in parts of it too. Great creek.

Wait really!?

Awsome fish man you have inspired me to give this creek a shot I lived by it my whole life never thought about fishing it I will definitely try this winter tho fish on brutha !

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

Ty for the comment 😁......in mid January if you move around a lot you can have 10-15 fish days but 95% of fish are sea-run cutthroat up to 18".....you can technically keep 2 a day but i recommend releasing them cause they have parasites most the time and it's better if they go make babies anyway......one last tip.....BAIT IS KEY!!!!

@@cluelessfisherman4555 thanks for the tips man I don’t keep anything I catch I just enjoy the fight !

@@cluelessfisherman4555 what can you catch this time of year. Trout? Maybe a couple steelies? I am eager to get out lol

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

I went out yesterday for a couple hours and the water had maybe 6 inches of vis which is barely fishable and had 1 bite on eggs.....I'm sure since it was cold last night it's very fishable today......I'm sure there's some steelhead and cutthroat in right now but its still a smidge early for any major numbers, I usually do best mid January.

[@joedonnelly5089]

Did you walk there from klineline? How do I get to that spot?

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

This spot is on private property and the landowner will call the cops on trespassers.....I've caught fish all throughout the system and no one spot is better than another, the key for catching Steelhead on Salmon Creek is keep moving and throw the kitchen sink at them and always throw bait at them first i.e. spawn sacks, sand shrimp and cured prawns then go to beads, jigs and spinners....ty for watching and commenting 😀

[@fishingbcwithcj]

Is that rod the Okuma SST Salmon Spin 8'6 MH?

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

It is an SST but its 10'6 minus 2 inch due to a car door.....great fishing rods!

[@fishingbcwithcj]

@@cluelessfisherman4555 How sensitive is it? I'm thinking about getting a spinning rod for twitching jigs, spoons and spinners

[@pnwfisher2144]

[@stephenalyabyev8559]

Which spot is this a?

[@rowanb34]

Yo i have been fishing there for months I went last week at that spot and by the bridge just up the river and I didn’t catch anything. What should I use?

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

Last year was the first year late returning stock so fishing before January 15 you'd be very lucky to catch anything worth keeping.....beads and bait are my favorites.

Is this past Kline line or below

Above Klineline but it's on private property

You ever catch any salmon on salmon creek?

I haven't seen a salmon in Salmon creek in 15 years or so, I haven't even seen a carcass in 10+ years but I've heard other people say they have.

Nice fish man. Been out every week since mid Jan but no steelhead yet. Have you heard of any or caught any this year yet?

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

I haven't seen a steelhead this year....I've personally caught over 20 cutthroat and a sucker fish so hopefully the steelhead are on the way

Last season was horrible :(

Nice man thanks for the quick reply never fish this creek planning this year just not familiar with the area when is the best time of year for steelies there I'll sub to the chanel and like it

@@cluelessfisherman4555 what is the best time to go there, I was there today

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

Most of my fish are caught between 9am - 1pm....I think the trick with salmon creek is finding spots most people wouldn't fish.

It's on Salmon creek is all I can say since it's on private land

do they come later in the year now? As in March instead of January and December

Last year was the first year of the late returning stock....from now on they should start returning mid January- march

Good times...

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

It's fun fishing salmon creek but this year SUCKED.....I only hooked into 1 steelhead that I'd actually seen and I didn't see a single person walk out with a fish. Hopefully next year is better cause it can't get much worse than this year when it comes to steelhead.....tight lines!
