Steelhead no less! Wow. Certainly sounds promising.

Ant patterns are usually quite effective in both lakes and streams. They work best when fished right next to the banks, as if they have just fallen out of a tree or something.

Since I haven't seen any other testimonials in response to this thread, I may just have to tie up some big ants and give it a try. It's not looking like we are going to see 70+ degrees within the next couple of weeks, so I should have some time to come up with some stuff before the hatch gets going....
