Native Son,

The last part of your post are some of the most intelligent words I've ever read on this board. Although I disagreed with you somewhat in the other post about fly lines, (I'm one of those guys who buys the second highest priced rod to skimp but try and buy the most expensive line)your ideas are exactly why I don't pursue steelhead with the fly 100% of the time like I do with trout. Sometimes steelhead just don't hold where you can easily get to them with the bug rod. Then I bust out the casting one.
