Steelhead fishing

[Xman]

I went up there this spring. We spent five days of fising and didnt hook a steelhead or even have a bite from one. What i did learn though is presentation and following the run is the single most important thing for the steelhead. and if you go to a local shop and ask where they are dont always beleive them. i spent 4 of the days with all the people and the advice of the shops fishing a area and they had mostly already ran through. the rig up is the basic steelhead rig for there and the shops can direct you there. i woudl say try to find someone who knows what they are talking about on the river and see where they are. also check the run numbers at the shops through the check points and that will give you a general idea where and what section they are on the river. i assume your talking about the salmon river. oh and get there early in the morning if you want to have a spot on a popular hole. it is absolute elbow to elbow in the hot holes. hope this helps
