On December 15 I am going on vacation in northern Michigan..  My uncle just told me that there is good steelhead fishing in some of the streams up there around now.  I have never heard of Steelhead fishing in the middle of winter and I don't have any experience in this type of fishing.  While we are up there we plan on giving it a try and who knows we might just lucky.  So I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about how to fish the steelhead during this time of year. 

Steelhead fishing during the winter really can produce good results as new fish are always moving into the rivers in northern Michigan getting ready for the spring spawning ritual.  I would try wax worms with a small jig under a slip bobber.  Use six pound test, or a four pound lead if you are in a spot that you don't have snags.  Spawn bags with or without floaters will work on any steelhead at any given time.  Casting small spoons or plugs might be another option.  It really all depends on the river's conditions.  I'm not a fly guy, but I know they work very well too.  Good luck.
