I went fishing for smallmouth at the end of last month/beginning of October. Usually I hit Cascade because I live 15 minutes walking distance from there (my dog loves it), so its close and therefore great after 5pm work. Keep in mind I just picked up fishing late this summer...
Anyway, i decided to try Burr Oak because the wife (fiancee actually, but we're just haggling over dates and people now) wanted to come and walk the dog. Good place to walk a dog, by the way. So I was utterly amazed at these big bulges/rises I saw while trying for smallmouth. Must have been steelhead feeding just below the surface. They weren't interested in my Hare's Ear or Wolly Buggers, but that's another story...
Just so happened Ely's Finest stopped by (checking fishing licenses, no less. That's a first! Seems a few people think you don't need a license to fish public parks) and we talked about steelhead. He pointed out something about Cascade wrt Steelhead spots that made a lot of sense. Seeing as to how touchy people seem to be about locations and photographs (those two threads took me by surprise), I decline to mention it here. But it seems in Winter a few strays try and jump the ford.
If you're an Ely native and wanna try Cascade, maybe I'll see you on the Black River this winter. Then I'll relay what the officer told me. But of course, the Black River is not stocked and so gets strays only. But it's off the "avoid skin contact" list now!
P.S. First year fishing, first year trying for steelhead. So take anything I have to say with a grain of salt.
