Was out to the coast 4 of 6 weekends first weekend of November to Dec. 15. Have caught steelhead on every trip. Typically 1 or 2 fish caught per weekend for 2 anglers - so slow. That was fish landed and the conversion rate of opportunity to landing was about 80% - so not just unlucky days where a lot of fish were lost.

Some truth to changing up tactics.

Also know of some folks who had ripping days of 5-6 fish each if you happened to be in the right spot after a bit of rain.
