So much fun, steelhead_slayer. I'll be back out for steelhead in 2 weeks but there is nothing like sight-fishing a big fella to get the adrenaline pumping.
@John Montana, nice article in this month's Clackamas fly fisher's newsletter too, man. I haven't been using the dropper method but am going to start, if for no reason other than taking advantage of the "anchor" when getting the fly into position.
All good stuff.
