Hey dude, welcome! Basically if you're looking for spots to fish for steel, just look at the regs, it will give you names of tribs that are open all year. And if you want to know where they are holding, work deep pools, behind logs and rocks, undercut banks, deep runs, and well... They could be anywhere if the river is deep enough. But try the first mentions. And for bait, roe, plastics, and flies. I really like running flys this time of year, I think those fish get back into a smolt state of mind and pick up insects and crustaceans. Black or olive # 8 or 10 wooly buggers seem to work best. But if you're running roe or plastics you can't go wrong with pink. Hope this helps you out man. Good luck!
