Steelhead fishing has always been a longrod and a spoon.I bought an 8 wieght this year but didn't use it much.I did take a look at my steely rivers from a fly fishermen point of veiw to prepare for a serios assault next year with fly gear.

Trout I prefer a fly but am not afraid to hang out at a couple of differant boat launches with the local old boys dunking power bait.

Salmon also has always been a gear show but I acasionaly get outfished by flyfishermen.Next season is going to be flyfishing only for incoming saltchuck salmon
