8- 10lb test lines. Spinners in the 3's 4's and 5's. I toss 5's year round with good success. 4's would be a GREAT size to toss this year. with the 3's, you will catch a lot of other fish inbetween steelhead. and you will catch more steelhead with 4's and 5's. 2/5 oz spoons are perfect for that system. Remember with spoons.. you can jump your line up to 10lb 12lb and even go to 15lb. I personally never go above 12lb.
Fish see these colors the most compared to any other color on any givin day and time of the day. Blue, Green, Purple, White and Reds.
Fish on. Fish em slow and deep and remember 4's will catch you more steelhead then 3's
