Rich,

Shows to go that catching steelhead on the fly is pretty much the same as fishing with gear. Put it in front of them, as with any properly presented bait or lure. With water conditions like this, they aren't going to be too choosy. I have fly fishing friends who don't cast very elegantly but consistently catch a lot of fish because they know what good steelhead holding water looks like, when the fish are in, and they put the fly in front of the fish.

Congratulations!

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
