A belated welcome to the list, Vincent. I've used - and really enjoy using - sight fishing techniques for trout (Rocky Ford being a prime example) but don't know anything about using these techniques for salmon and steelhead.

I'm sure the list members would be very interested in hearing more about the methods you've been using on our local streams. How about posting a description of the tools and techniques that have served you so well in the NW?
