[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 139565, member: 1417"] Matt That sounds like a lot of fun. I used to fish with my brother on the north shore of Lake Superior for steelhead. When they were running, the rivers were shoulder-to-shoulder too. You practically had to fish in unison with everybody else in order to cast. The steelhead were also very subtle - most people fished with roe or some artificial variant of roe. The fish try to pick it up and plant it in the river bottom. It's not like fishing for hungry fish. I was terrible at it but my brother could really haul them in. He could fish among two dozen lines and pull out fish when no one else was catching any. At that time - nearly 40 years ago now, the rods weren't as good as they are today. No graphite and mostly clunky things like broom handles. My brother had a Fenwick fly rod which at that time was about as good as there was. He could really "feel" with it so was able to react to the slightest tug. It's pretty interesting stuff. My x's parents had a summer home in lower Michigan on Gun Lake and we used to go every summer. I loved to fish for panfish with a flyrod. I used floating flies or poppers. That was really fun and unlike fishing panfish with bait, they didn't get to swallow the hook. I love ultralight too. Thanks for explaining how it all works. [/QUOTE]
