This is a fantastic video, full of invaluable information and tips. Now, could I ask a question? Towards the end you mention PA angler John Steinhoff. I tried looking him up and found nothing. Do you have any links to information about him and his nymphing methods?

Hi, there isn't too much beyond George Daniel's comments and this fly pattern kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6SshGd-Z9uBqsk It's spelt John Stoyanoff if that helps, but he's a local guide in Penn and not sure he has any social media or website etc... if someone is looking to contact John, probably best to reach out to the TCO fly shop in State College.

Key takeaways for me 1 stripping dry flies work 2 grapefruit head leech work in cold water for steelhead 3 ant 🐜 flies work if you can't figure out what active fish are eating 4 switching to big stupid flies can be the difference to get difficult fish to bite
