Eastern Flly Fishing for July August 2009 had an interesting article on fish Michigan's St. Joe river for steelhead. I don't live very far from the St Joe, a couple of hours or so, and am interested in trying to catch a steelhead. I only have two problems to solve: 1) I've never been steelheading so don't know about fly selections etc. and 2) I've never fished the St. Joe.

I just got the book "Steelhead Dreams" so I've started researching both problems.

Where do you fish the St Joe? Would you recommend a guide for the fist time or two?
