In the Fall, Sept/Oct/Nov, in the Pacific Northwest we have Steelhead in wonderful long rivers.

The weather is to die for with October being the best month to go for most.

95% of the time I use a floating line, long tapered leader and unweighted winged dark fly.

Because you are fishing most early and late you need waders.

You need studded wading boots, a staff, and light colored Polarized glasses.

I would always fish barbless, most place that is the law.



If you need and advise let me know..............getting started or planning a trip.

In Sacramento you can hone your skills on the lower American river in the Spring and Fall for Half-pounder Steelhead.
