I have some time off in mid december, and would like to try my hand at steelhead, or browns.

Seeing as I have zero experience in this field, any advice would be appreciated;

-Is the fishing good at this time of year

- What flies to use

-How to fish them

-Good places to stay overnight

-Would a 5 or 6 wt do for this tpye of fishing.

- Any good fly shops arround; I like to encourage local shops.

It's all catch and release for me.

Do any of you guys or gals live near by, maybe we could fing some flies together.

Have a great weekend,
chris
