i am an avid steelheader on vancouver island. fish mostly bottom bouncing gear and a little bit of float fishing when i'm in my drift boat. i know that the steelheaders south of the border are into pulling plugs or back trolling plugs. just wondering if anyone has some info on techniques. i own a 16ft meckenzie river drift boat and would be fishing medium sized rivers. how far do you run them from the boat? what colors work for winter steelies? is it a productive way to fish? i do allright with the other techniques but there's always something else to learn.

thanks in advance, tight lines!
