Interesting.

I never thought of a rested steelhead being threatened by a surface fly, skated or dead drifted. Now a huge MOAL swinging into his zone @ his eye level....yeah. Thats fight or flight time in 54' degree water.

My thought is they looked to the surface fly as a reminder of their youthful days eating bugs before heading outbound to the big saltpond
