This is an awesome post, Brandon. Thanks for the detailed post for the many of us heading down this path.
Brandon's right about using a heavier rod for winter steelhead. IMO fishing for winter steelies with a 6wt would be like bringing a knife to a gun fight.I appreciate the info Brandon, I do realize that I give myself the shorter end of the stick using a 6wt but I feel its a suitable challenge.

Like a Snoopy rod for carp. (just being funny here intimidator not insulting youit's like using a 2wt to toss big ass dry flies to deschutes redsides during the salmonfly hatch :lol:

like dora the explorer fishing for tarpon from a float tube.
No those guys are tough and probably could rep with more!like a midget trying to benchpress 150lbs.
Don't leave out swinging a fly. In either case winters don't move around as much as summer fish do so in your presentation making it an easy grab for them will increase your chances.I figured since this was specifically about steelhead that this section would be better suited than fly fishing section, if not move as need be please.
I am thinking of targeting some steelhead using my 6WT fly rod and am curious on what type of flies to aquire and any suggestions on tippet?
The fly line is a DT with a 6lb flourocarbon tippet. I am not sure if i should increase that to 8 lb or so?
Any suggestions are helpful
