Gotta agree with chrome junky and hulapopper. Hence the name steelhead! Have any of you guys ever witnessed these fish in the traps at the hatchery? I went to the Pasemorai hatchery last spring and I watched fish repeatedly hurl themselves into the fence. These fish can take a beating. If there was a concern about using certain tackle the fish and game would address it. Like barbless hooks only. As long as a person obeys the guidelines in the regulations then it is up to them as to what type of equipment they use.
