I would gladly spend time in the summer for steelies, but in the Midwest, most rivers are filled with the Nort American bonefish(carp0. Rivers are generally too warm in most locations with the exception of a cool summer rain that will bring fish in for a day. The summer runs I use to catch on the Klickitat, were mint bright, but the carp on the Milwaukee are a bronzy gold with scales the size of dinner plates. Life ain't fair. Thanks guys.
