HI- My name is Jeff and I have a steelheading problem...
HI JEFF! lol.

Phil and Dave , All all this talk about the SR has me thinking , when are we going ?
The kings are starting to show up in the lower river. A buddy of mine said a couple of his friends did decent in the DSR, the other day. We should be able to hit it soon but right now, the river is still in the 70's.

Fly, rod, reel, line comments?
billhouk, that set up is fine for the Erie/Ontario tribs. I usually run 6 and 7 weights (ten footers) on the Erie tribs, with a floating line. Usually a Clouser or Salmon/Steelhead line. If I need to get down into deeper, faster water, i'll run 7.5'-10', sinking poly leaders. As far as not getting them to the net...Welcome to Steelhead fishing! lol. Actually, it just takes some getting use to. Keep at it and it will come. The leaf hatches on the Erie tribs are EPIC!!! lol.
