Check out some of my prior posts from this spring. All Clearwater fish all from the bank. I too prefer to fly fish for steelhead but catch my self slinging gear on a bait caster for them from time to time. Usually when my kids are with me. I just got in to swinging for them this spring but I love nymphing for them on the SF of the Clearwater. I love living 10 minutes from the Clearwater. Pm me if you want some advice or would like to hook up some time and I can show you what I know.
By the way I took the Spey rod out last Thursday morning and hit a run. I never hooked up but the fella that was swinging in the lower section of the run hooked a nice one that did a cartwheel about 5 feet in the air. He fought it for about 2 minutes then lost it. Headed out again in the a.m. Pretty fantastic that its August and you can start targeting steelhead here.
