Too all of you who responded to my "first steelhead" topic, thank you for the responses! It is certainly a good time...and I expect it will be a long, arduous life trying to catch more of these elusive beings!
Can someone tell me what the physical differences are between a summer steelie and a winter one, and what the good and bad of each are? I have no idea....and of course, dont want to sound too much like an "idiot-angler" when asked by others!

Thanks again...
Joe
