What type of "weird" flies do you tie? I have never been very successful
at sight fishing for steelhead. I've seen guys at Fortson hook fish with
small nymphs and long leaders but whenever I try it seems like the only
hookups I get are in the tail or dorsal fin. I can honestly say I haven't
tried too hard and I don't have a good selection of trout flies since I
don't do too much trout fishing. It's going to be a low water summer so I
might have to adapt.
I'm not sure where you where fishing, but if you got a hatchery steelhead
on the N.F. consider yourself lucky because from what I've seen there are
very few around. On the bright side, there are very few fishermen, at
least above Deer Creek.
Sincerely,
Keith
