I love fly fishing and it's a lot of fun but It has been slow going on the learning curve. I have a chance to go steelhead fising tomorrow on the AR. I was thinking about hitting a few spots on the river but I am not sure what to use. I want to give myself the best shot at catching a fish. Here are my options; first let me preface this by saying I know this is a fly fishing site and I would expect the answers to be swayed....but I'm going to ask any way.....What would give me the best chance at catching a steelhead right now....1. Fly rod drifting nymphs and egg patterns. 2. Regular Steelhead rod with 10lb test and an 8lb flourocarbon leader with a 8 to 10 size hook using roe sacks, night crawlers or just drift some beads off the bottom? What do you think. Keep in mind my success with steelhead on the fly this year has been nil and I am getting very discouraged.
