Put a WF line on a 4wt and you can throw the smaller poppers and deer hair bugs. 2lbs+ smallies on a 4wt are fun!...Wish i had a place to use the old 3-4 weights on some brookie or cuthroats, but its still fun to throw the 7s and 9s on a 5 lb smallie. They fight like hell.

It basically amounted to:I didn't understand a damn word of this!...
right nows when you should be hitting steelhead here homer! the run starting and they are hittng pretty well try a yarn fly or egg-sucking leech pattern or the fleshbugs from alaska also
I practice catch and release as well, I often get strange looks when I tell people I don't keep the fish I catch. As for $400 for the used rod - fly fishing is like brewing, you can spend a fortune and have the shiniest most expensive rig, or you can spend a little bit and have an extremely serviceable setup that you will be very happy with.That's odd, I was talking to one of the other fisherman (not fly fishing) and he said the steelies run in the spring... They were hooking Kings with egg sacks.
I once worked with a guy who stayed up all night fly fishing. Said he had more than a dozen on that night. Iasked him how many he brought home and he said "none". What? Well, he said he could catch steelies all day, so it's boring to him. He uses like 4lb. test and makes it a challenge.
He also got a great deal when he spent $400 on a USED fly rod on Ebay... ok...
