Thanks for your memo. I'm trying to figure out if you're fishing in the East Coast or South West - maybe New Mexico.

Right now I'm looking for Steelhead working their way up stream following the spawning Salmon run in Northern CA. It's a fantasy trip for me remembering a few special days in two or three years long past when I came upon a group of Steelies in a feeder stream 130 miles from the Coast. In a dry January drouth year found them below a riffle top feeding on Caddis Flies. They took my dry Adams with a fury mostly breaking off but I did land one 8 pounder.

In another year I heard a single rising fish below a shoal on a warm October day. He was constantly on the move chasing and splashing aquatic insects in the shallow froth. I laid out a 6X long hook Golden Nymph and he took it running on the 2nd cast. His picture is in my scrap book. Later I connected with floating Coachman's amongst a group following up stream. These all broke off in the fast water.

That area is closed off now by mining cos.and impossible to tresspass. Down below, however, in a wildlife area where everybody goes there's still some isolated runs suitable for a wading fisherman to hang some silvery arrivals with a weighted red bodied streamer or nymph. I've never seen them rising for drys or emergers again. Hoping it will happen maybe this year. Time's growing short.
