Would it were so Thumper but Mr.Steelhead has a different program.Many ,maybe most steelhead dont grab the bait or fly on the way past;they drift back downstream eyeing it ;finally they may take hold softly and turn back for their lie. when they do the float merely tips sideways .Long before they pull the float under they will have let go and you strike air. You have to watch that float like a hawk and if it tips, tighten up. It helps to put an airial on your float it shows that slight tip faster than the float itself.
