Todd and Wild Chrome have it right. One of the most unusual things I ever saw had to do with rolling steelhead. My friend and I were fishing a Vancouver Island River that had a lot of fish in it. One of the best runs had a guy fishing it . We stopped to talk to him and he told us he had never caught a steelhead. We assured him that he was in a great run and to keep at it. We talked to the guy every day for the next three days. he still had no fish and we always passed up "his" run. Finally, on our last day my friend asked the guy if he would mind if we made a few casts. The guy said to have at it. My friend hooked three steelhead on three casts.!

The guy's problem was he kept seeing rolling fish. Every time he saw a surface fish he would shorten the line between his float and his lure. Of course the biters were on the bottom where they usually are. My frined handed off the third fish, whicjh the guy propmptly lost. We showed him how deep to fish and left.

The next morning as we were leaving we stopped at the guy's run and he was as pumped as a kid at Christmas. He had hooked and landed his first steelhead.
