Dave the scale patterns on your carp look just like the shadows cast by Joni's new net. Nice Fish!
I'm gonna start trying for Lake Ontario tributary steelhead soon. Zonkers should work well on them. Guys up here have started using pink plastic worms with success. I've got a 12 and a half foot steelhead rod rigged with my 9 weight bass line and a float suspending a small jig. Should work just as well in the river (if not better) as it does in stillwater. The only thing standing in the way of me doing some serious steelheading is my reluctance to put the tube away for the winter. I'd like to get out in it a couple more times but It costs now that the regular season is over and I bought a new acoustic electric guitar that I need to pay for in a couple more weeks. On the upside, it'll be a lot more fun paying for the guitar than it was for our new roof and furnace.
