Advice and information:
You do need a steelhead card (see your local sporting goods store). You don't need a guide, there are plenty of places on the river to catch fish. Please don't fish alone. Always fish with a buddy.
Weather - be prepared for anything. Bring rain gear and long john's in addition to the usual stuff: waders, hats sunglasses, wading staff.
This is big water expect (sometimes) big fish
ROD SIZE: 5 to 9 weights 6 weight is best. I bring a 7 weight if the water is big and needs a bit more.
LINE: Depending on the water the best right now is a floating line with a sink tip. You never know. Bring a sinking line and a floating line. This is steel head fishing be prepared.
LEADER: This water is grayish and short leaders are okay
6.5lb, 3X or 8lb, 2x or 10lb. The 4X is a good middle of the road. 3X work well if you’re optimistic. Use your own judgment and capabilities on this.
FLIES:
It is going to depend on the rain and the water level as to the fishing and the flies. The stand by that you want to take is:
Doug of Marble Mountain will be stocking the most popular, so bring money or fly-tying material. The following are the standards for Steelhead
