Re: Steelhead rod suggestions
I'm out in Oregon, and here in the Rogue river most of us are using 8wt for the Steel, we do get lots of Chinook in the river, and that calls for more rod at times, but not to many fly fishers I know target salmon.
I had been using a 7wt up til this summer, when I got a new 6wt. I really love to cast that 6, but I think whenever I do get into a big Steelhead, I'll have the same trouble you are seeing. I'll probably go back to the 7 for the time being.............Dan
