ive never seen walleyes in a tank other than at the sheddcichlidfinder;3198044; said:I also border lake Michigan and fish skamania usually about the secound week in July there are enough fish in the streams to make a trip worth going. Fun to catch they love to go airbourne on light line in a stream full of snags its a blast. If you can land 50% of your hook ups your doing good.
Also the otherday I caught the coolist smallie I have ever seen.

Yeah I've already mastered stream fishing for them. I used to have the best spot and there was only about 10-15 guys that frequently went to this spot. But through time people have told everybody else, now we got flyfisherman and snaggers and all kinds of people down there. So I've been expanding my fishing for skamania and trying to get a good start at the piers.cichlidfinder;3198044; said:I also border lake Michigan and fish skamania usually about the secound week in July there are enough fish in the streams to make a trip worth going.

I guess skamania are only considered a strain of steelhead and not a sub species (at least not yet). There is some taxinomic differences. They definatly have a different attitude then a normal steelhead. A normal steelhead will jump 1-5 times these have been known to jump up to like 10+ times in a fight. They also prey on some what different things ex: skamania are heavy crayfish eaters.likestofish;3197911; said:Thanks for the clarification
and headed out to the same spot from Saturday to get it in right before dark. I landed five little ones and let two jump off but i think i totally blow what would of been the biggest of the day. Im not blaming it on my wife but as i was bringing the buzzy in i had a massive blow up but due to the fact my wife was in my ear asking me a DUMB behind question i didnt react fast enough
.
. Its always fun to see people faces when i walk right up and bang some fish, specially when they say things like ive seen that lure before(buzz bait) but i dont think it will work. I simple repley "if you stick around long enough youll see".
