Over the past year I have learned a lot from guys on this board as well as much needed experience on the rivers. With only 3 steelies ever hooked and none landed I can always use some tips.
The steelhead season is well underway and guys are starting to pluck them out on a consistent basis, while I am standing there wondering why? Why did he hook one right where I was just fishing and using pretty much the same as myself. What is it that you people have (you know who you are :wink: ) that lets you walk into a pool or run and in a couple of casts all of the sudden there's a beauty steelie on the end of your line. I've spent 6 full days on the rivers since New Years with only ONE bite. What could I be doing wrong?
I guess it breaks down to a couple questions:
1. How long should you cover water before hitting a new spot?
2. When covering a run or pool, how extensive should you be in covering it?
Feel free to leave any tips.
Cheers
