Just thought I would wish everyone Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season with an update from around my area. In mid-Michigan we have had above average temperatures with very little precipitation. Sad to say it, but it will certainly not be a white Christmas. Last year I was ice fishing December 8, this year I will be lucky if I will be ice fishing by January 8.

But, this comes with many positive aspects, the steelhead fishing has been phenominal. As my last semester of college nears and "the real life" looms in the future, this year may go down in the books as the year that I have caught the most fish in my entire life. It's been a good haul. A few pictures of the past month.

Some of many fall chrome Steelhead, a day in which I went 19 for 21 on some of the most incredible fish to date.






Another bunch of fun fall Steelhead.







This is most likely the largest Steelhead that I have brought to the net, pushing the scales to over 15lbs. I did not get a true weight on it, but have dealt with enough fish to know a conservative guess was 15 lbs.





Enjoy!
