I am currently going to school up in Moscow. Im a flyfisherman but I have been wanting to give steelheading a try. I dont have the money to get a fly rod set up but I can swing a spinning rod.
I have a few friends whos dad's own boats but I think 95% of my fishing will be from shore.
Is it worth it for me to give steelheading a try from shore with a spinning rod? Not sure where I would fish but it would probably be around Riggins and Im afraid that there are just too many people fishing there. Ontop of that I dont know if I will be living in Idaho much longer. I may be moving to Montana so I am worried about having a big rod that wont get used.
Just looking for oppinions, give steelheading a try? Or save the money and put it towards a fishing kayak or pontoon? Can one rent rods/reels from shops in Riggins?
Thanks all!
