Get some help with your Steelheading........

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

This is directed to those who have not done a lot of Steelheading with a fly rod or those who have and just have not done well.

First off, it's not really easy fishing so if you are not fishing the right techniques on the right water on the river it is almost impossible with a fly rod.

Try to get into one of these inexpensive local group seminars for Steelhead.

You can also get out a half-day in the morning with a local guide/instructor. Maybe you can share the trip with someone on this BB to keep it less expensive?

Some of the local fly clubs have Steelhead outings too.

Maybe someone here on our message board would volunteer to take someone out Steelheading on the Lower American River?

It is Steelhead time, now through spring.

We have lots of veteran Steelheaders that work at our fly shop so come in a get some good advice.

If anyone is willing to go out fishing let me know don't have the money for a guide so anyone free let me know.

This is why this BB is better than the rest. I've gotten answers to alot of my questions and everyone seems eager to help. So often people dont want to help the new guys. Thank you.

That said, I am planning to go to the Sac. on monday the 30th and maybe tuesday the 1st. I have been fly fishing for about a year but never for steal head and never on the Sac. If anyone out there would like a little company and is willing to give a tip or two that would be great. I have all the gear I need and after I visit Kiene's I should have all the flys I need. I'm not expecting a guide service or anything, just a little help getting started.

Thanks
