Written by Cameron Larsen


Continued from page 1

Steelhead consume lots of eggs in their lifetime. Especially inrepparttar winter, when suckers move uprepparttar 133148 rivers to spawn. The most popular egg pattern isrepparttar 133149 Sucker Spawn, withrepparttar 133150 Crystal Meth a close second. Egg patterns are generally bounced alongrepparttar 133151 bottom. And are a good choice all winter long into March.

The last class of patterns fished for Erie steelhead isrepparttar 133152 basic nymph and beadhead nymphs. Like trout, steelhead consume lots of nymphs in their lifetime. The same nymphs that are popular for trout fishing are used in Steelhead Alley. With Hare’s Ear, Prince, caddis larva and stonefly imitations beingrepparttar 133153 most popular. Buggy nymphs seem to work best, and although bug life is fairly dormant inrepparttar 133154 winter these are never a bad choice.

Some classic steelhead patterns fromrepparttar 133155 Northwest are used as well, includingrepparttar 133156 Green Butt Skunk. And in murky watersrepparttar 133157 Popsicle is popular along with other bright streamers.

After reachingrepparttar 133158 water, use some ofrepparttar 133159 same techniques discussed on out other steelhead articles, clearer water go smaller and more subtle colors, high, murky water go brighter and larger.

Sighting In - An Ethical Hunters Responsibility 

Written by David Selman, Tracker-Outdoors.com


Continued from page 1
Most popular deer rifles that are shooting slightly low at 25 yards will be about 2 inches high at 100 yards. Hunters who take shots out to 200 or 300 yards usually sight in a little high at 100 yards. If you never take a shot beyond 100 yards, sight in to be dead on at that distance.

Any time you put a rifle on an airplane, you should shoot it at a target before you hunt. For that matter, you should fire at a target every now and then throughoutrepparttar hunting season.

Once sighted in, most hunting rifles are very reliable, but evenrepparttar 133147 most accurate rifle can be "off" if it's knocked around enough.
