I also don't add any salt to me steelhead cures but thats another dabate and personal preference. Its concept I still battle with. Some kolks will preach 'til there blue in the face thaf steelhead won't bite a cure with sulfites/salt..but I have killed many steelhead with rays coon shrimp and Duane E.'s recipe from NWWC. Both cures have a lot of salt.

I do use fire cure though for all species with success.
