I've been reading some articles on Hooking up with steelhead, here are a few things
that might cause for more hookups.
1. Filed point for easier penetration
2. A different hook.
3. When a fish hitts, pull rod to side or right at you. rather than straight up.
Straight up on a swimming fly I guess tends to not allow it to get into the mouth very
well.
I'm no expert, Just relaying some info I have read.
