Good advice everyone. I would offer that you visit Dennis Dickson's site at www.flyfishsteelhead.com for additional information. His "Stories and Artical's" section will keep you occupied for several hours.

Apparently you have already made an investment in gear and time towards flyfishing for steelhead. I would suggest you make one more investment by fishing with a quality guide such as Dennis to get some first hand instruction. He will show you the right gear, presentation strategies and how to recognize water best suited for flyfishing. Who knows, you may even hook a fish in the process. This is money well spent and can greatly accelerate the learning curve. It did for me!
