Salmo G: I should have said the angler who is intent on hooking the most fish will not stick with only one lure or bait. I too fish steelhead with a fly, not all the time or even most of the time. But I have managed to hook a half dozen or so on feathers and fur.

But when I am fly fishing I am doing so because it pleases me to fish that way, not becasue I beleive it's the most effective way to hook a steelhead.

I remain convinced that the guy who has the most fun wins. For some, the only way to have the most fun is to catch the most fish. For others there are many other variables.
