Who's getting pumped for Metalheads

Not really the same at all. You can certainly catch steelies from the bank, but it's a much bigger river than the Salmon near Challis, you won't be able to cast all the way across in most places. While there is often a good drift at a lot of the bends in the river, the highway that runs along it is narrow with steep mountain on one side and concrete barriers on the other-not conducive to pulling over and parking in most stretches. That being said, I fished it from the bank for years before I ever got my boat and did well using a combination of side planing plugs, standard drift fishing and bobber/jig.
