Swinging for Great Lakes Steelhead in dirty water

[@CCarsonThompson]

Thanks for sharing insights on managing and manipulating the swing. There are a ton of videos on how to cast, but so few on how to fish. I look forward to learning more. Keep ‘em coming.

Can you explain "transition zone" you reference early in the video? Thanks!

[@greatlakesflyfishingwjliskay]

Thanks for the watch Mike, Transition zone areas for run off streams are sections between the bends in the river that generally don't look like much under normal or low flows. When the flows increase and water levels rise some fish use those sections to rest or hold until flows subside. They look like flats with grooves or ledges in the shale, depending on the rate of water level drop fish could use it for one day or multiple days.

We went to Riverside together. You didn't have the beard last time I saw you

[@jayr7471]

Do you use just a float tip in that slow of an area?

[@greatlakesflyfishingwjliskay]

Thanks for the question Yes, you can use a floating tip with a weighted fly but I prefer to use a unweighted fly with an intermediate or intermediate/sink 2 tips when fishing slower moving runs.
