I'm just getting into fishing for steelhead with the fly rod. I know, its a deep dark path I'm walking down, but it must be done.

My question is, what kind of indicator setup do you guys like the best? Floating, or sinking etc. How do you tie on your flies. Dropper flies? Weighted flies? etc. How much tippet? The questions are endless... I've seen people tie on soooo much stuff I wonder how the heck they ever fling it out there.

What works best for you?

I've fly fished for quite a while now, but I've only targeted trout in the smaller waters or ponds, so any info you have would be awesome!

Thanks!
