2012 spring steelhead

With record breaking warm temperatures the spring cycle has been accelerated with all types of species found swimming Illinois and Wisconsin's waters. The sucker run is already in full swing in the tribs that flow into Lake Michigan and I would just have to assume that the steelhead cycle is well ahead of last years time line. Last year, fishing was good until the end of April but this year I don't see it lasting into April if these unusual temps hold out.

My buddy Shawn broke in his new setup this weekend on a few Wisconsin Steelhead! My recommendation is to get on it quick before it passes you by.
