Hey guys, I've managed to catch a few steelhead since getting stationed here at Fort Lewis, on eggs, drift gear, etc. Now I want to devote some time this winter to catching some on flygear. I have a 9.5' 7 wt. rod, and a caliper drag reel that holds plenty of backing. My main questions (other than where to go ) have to do with line selection and terminal gear. Do you guys use floating, sink-tip, or full sinking line? Shooting heads (length, weight, etc), and what leader length/configuration do you recommend? Also, what is the most common presentation, the usual cross-current cast and swing, like wet flies for trout? Come on, I need some suggestions!
