I have been practicing all the needed techniques to catch steelhead by fishing for trout this year. I have learned the basics of fishing spinners, spoons, drift fishing, float fishing, jigs etc... I have also learned all the knots, proper rigging, and presentations. Starting January I'm ready to go for the big boys, i have my new lamiglass rod and a berkley air noodle rod with a full setup for float fishing jigs/bait and for drift fishing.
I think my year spent fishing for trout, especially on the rivers, has prepared me well for the coming year.
