Tip
Tip: For more consistent catches, move to a sink-tip or sinking line to get the fly down to the fish zone
How to do it: For consistent steelhead catches, switch to sink-tip or sinking lines to reach the fish zone
Mistake it fixes: Staying with a floating line when fish are deep
Why it works: Sinking lines reach the fish zone where steelhead hold, giving more consistent catches than surface lines.
When it matters most: Steelhead, sinking lines
