Fly Fishing For Steelheads In Minnesota's North Shore
Pacific Coast steelheads are very similar to the rainbow trout. The difference is that the steelheads are anadromous - they are born in rivers, live in the sea and travel back the rivers of their birth to spawn. Rainbow trout don't migrate at all. About 20 streams and rivers along the North Shore of Minnesota have major spring runs of steelheads, although they can be found in about another 40, totaling almost 145 miles. Fly fishing along the rivers begins as soon as they are free of ice, usually sometime in April. Fly fishing for steelheads along the North Shore is not for the faint of heart. Weather conditions are changeable and can be brutal and the landscape combines heavy brush with rushing rivers.
