Ah, The perfect summer steelhead run. Well I cant fish it anymore. Its a deep pool above a long narrow shallow section of river, With another long narrow shallow above it. One side of the pool has a nice gravel bar and the other is a steep rock wall.
For bait it has to be a female sand shrimp about 2 and 1/2 inches long. You know, the really colorful ones. A 4' long 8lb leader and a # 2 hook. There isnt a steelhead that swims that can pass that up.
Well since I cant fish there anymore, Any run that holds summer steelhead is my favorite. And any method thathooks them is my favorite.!
