I'm still under 10,000 casts and haven't felt so much as a steelhead nibble... This will be the first time I'll try the summer run and I have questions.
I will be bank fishing this summer - not that it makes a lot of difference, since being in a boat hasn't helped me a bit. :lol:
Are there different techniques that are more successful in the summer than the winter? Different colors? A special, lucky fish dance I need to learn?
I'll be using a spinning reel and rod. I'm pretty happy with the rod and reel. Not 100% confident in my choice of 20# braid and 15# fluorocarbon. And I have absolutely no confidence in how I rig my terminal tackle: lures, baits or anything else down where the attracting and hooking business gets done.
I'll be on small coastal rivers, expecting low-to-normal river depth and clear water.
Any tips would be appreciated.
(I did a forum search and didn't see the question or an answer. It could be buried under some obscure thread title, but if it's been asked and answered, I didn't find it).
