Preston,
Me thinks there's nothing "normal" about using a 4 wt.on steelhead.Though his
publications are passing good, fishing with a 4 wt for steelhead is subnormal
unless he's fishing for smolts. My opinion of him falls greatly.
On the Umpqua I was gently chided for using a 7 wt. It is held that a 9 is
optimum and a 8 "light" for steelhead. I was under the opinion that we wanted to
catch them not kill them.Poor example Mr. Amato.
Respectfully,
C.P.(Preston) Breed
