river situations

[hightechdecks]

I was just confused because for fly fishing a typical setup is tapered leader, tippet, flurocarbon. Tippet isnt flurocarbon so I was just surprised that is was being used as a leader for steelheading.

back in the day florocarbon was just new on the scene we would use a lot of ultra green but you could generally get by without it......oh how the game has canged since i first started.

when fishing different rivers i tie different size roe and colors also adjust the float depth and length of leader

One thing that I have figure out is a) watch the successful fisherman and try to imitate them B) ask questions c) get out a practice. I am relatively new to this steelheading, and am still learning quite a bit. I have lots of experience fishing smaller trout in creeks and big rivers in the summer. Like the previous poster the size of bait is one variable that I have found is important. One other thing that I have realized, within the past couple weeks, especially in the bigger rivers is the size of my float. I usually used a 4-7 gram float, but on big waters where casting out far is essential, I have now switched to a 10-16 gram float.
