Steelhead fishing is here

Steelhead fishing is new to me so I've been looking at tips and strategies. It seems the most basic and direct approach is best.
Here are 5 tips to get you started.

River-Level Check- Know what flows your going to encounter as to have the right equipment for the job. Flow and clarity of the water, based on recent conditions, will affect what and where you will fish.

Pre-tie your Leaders- The more you have your line in the water, the better your catch rates will be. Try and manage your leaders in a way that don't allow them to get tangled or you've wasted your time.

Don't be afraid to move- If your not finding fish in your hole, move on to another and check back. Don't wait for the fish to come to you. For all you know someone may have just pulled those fish just before you showed up and spooked 'em out. To make this easy on you, Bring what you need with and no more.

Change Bait- If your looking at fish or watching them be pulled out from under you and your not turning heads, don't be too lazy to change colors, bait, hook size, leader length, or presentation.

Follow the crowd- If your looking for a new whole, follow the crowds. Many people only fish a few hours or limit out right away. Some stay all day, but when those people leave and the fishing pressure turns off the bite may turn on! Even when the pressure is on, try fishing something different to turn the fish.
