FleaFlickr02,
Most of the steelhead that I have succesfully hooked on a swung fly have come in between the start of the swing and as my fly nears the hang down. The fish that I have lost usually have been on the hang down.
Regards,
Andrew

Assuming across river is Noon and Hangdown is 3 vast majority of my swing strikes come between 1 n 2oclock. Once fly gets low n is moving slow seems to be the zone for me...tight lines.

Somebody needs to pinch the barb on KK's fly - he's gettin dangerous. My .02 - most of my winter/spring fish come in the last bit of the swing as it slows before the hangdown. Summer fish can be anywhere, and are often just as/after the fly comes under tension in the early part of the swing. Hey Flea - ever fish the Skykomish? Tight Lines! Brian
