@@newflyfishingodyssey how so? This will be my first time steelheading, was in Shasta fishing alpine lakes near MT. Eddy and fished the upper Sac this past summer, awesome stuff and want to go back, Bay Area kid btw. I only have a 9ft 6wt and no sinking tip, would this suffice for bank fishing Steelies?

@@newflyfishingodyssey don’t want to come across as a Bay Area invader btw, just have always loved the mountains and fly fishing in particular

@@newflyfishingodyssey and wading ofc

[@newflyfishingodyssey]

There wasn’t much water last year. I’m no expert by any means. But unless you are trying to get a chromed out one at the mouth, they pretty much fish like regular rainbows. So you can nymph for them. Whether you find one and hook up is where it’s up to the fates. Good luck.

Hey is the river shallow this time of year? Accessible in waders? Send me links I can check out to get wading. I live 1hr away !

[@newflyfishingodyssey]

I've only been twice and around early Spring. Not times floating. I've seen wading in there but not really sure where the access roads are. Could try giving the fly shop in Redding a call
