[QUOTE="Oi.223, post: 1607868, member: 107540"] I struggled with steelhead when I moved to Oregon in 1980. Read everything available and really worked at it. But when I finally caught my first one (and released it as I promised during the fight) it was like a light bulb went off. I agree with Ard that beads and egg patterns really don’t seem like fly fishing to me. And while I have no problem with fishing nymphs for trout, when it come to steelhead I stick to traditional wet flies or topwater skaters. The best single piece I have read about steelhead tactics is a chapter in John Shewey’s book titled “Northwest Flyfishing: Trout and Beyond” The whole book is good, but his one long chapter on steelhead is worth the price of the entire book. As Ard says, Dump the beads and fish the traditional flies, you wil have a lot more fun in the long run. [/QUOTE]
