Halloween

The last day of October.  No luck.  I have ventured out to the river in hopes of getting my first Steelhead.  Nothing.  Tried both a float and a fly rod.  Tried the Cedar Point Road area first.  Nothing.  Did not notice any other anglers.  I guess the experienced ones wait a little longer for the Steelhead to reach this area in greater numbers.  Stayed there for  about an hour or so.  Great water condition but no bite.  Decided to go closer to the lake.  Drove to Rockclif Ford.  About 15 anglers at the hole already.  No one getting any bites.  Then this guy walks in and in about 3 minutes after I got there  he hooks a nice buck in 2 or 3 casts.  I don't how he does.  I know that he fishes like everyday so I guess experience and practice translates directly into results.  He was using orange spawn sacs.  He explained to us that they were "special" but would not elaborate.  I've tried the same color store bought spawn sacs to no avail.  I hope I will have a better luck next time.  Till then.
