What lb test should I use for a leader for steelhead fishing?
Posted by Admin
And I have a rod and reel for steelhead but nothing else. what do i need?
steelhead fishing on the snake river, WA
The Snake is a faster, more powerful river than a lot of the NW rivers. It takes a little more line and a little heavier weighting than typically prepared for.
10lb leader is a good weight. I wouldn’t bother going any higher. 12lb mainline is enough from the bank, but beware – many of the bank access points have rapids below them, and fish will make runs downstream. It can take a bit of finesse and experience to get them to come back up river.
Go a little larger on the bait if you’re drifting roe, prawns, etc. The fish the are actively competing for food, and respond better to bigger clumps/presentations. The river typically sees a big return of steelies, so food can become a bit of a problem for fish – hence the bigger portions being better.
Longer, fast, sensitive rods a good on that river. The length helps with casting, bait presentation, and fish control.
As for the weights you’re going to want – I honestly don’t remember. I’m going to assume, with a 10-12lb setup, you’ll need a little heavier given the line/water friction. Weights ranging from 3/8oz all the way through 1 1/2oz should be good. Pencil lead or slinkys are preferred. If you want to float it, I’d invest in a sliding float, NOT some crappy Eagle Claw one though….the line will cut through the plastic "straw" through the middle. It’s just not as hard as other manufacturer’s products.
BAIT: crawlers, roe, prawns, etc. SPOONS, SPINNERS (most of the river is too fast fo spinners though) HOOKS: sized from 6 – 1 is good to start. The bigger bait chunks hide the larger hooks well enough. Also, invest in some "magic" thread (stretchy thread) for holding on that bait. You might want to learn how to tie an egg-loop knot too. They’re pretty helpful.
Well, that’s probably enough to get you started……
ANSWER RESPONSE: (IF you think you need a steel leader for steelhead, then maybe you need to take up a different hobby!!)
Steelhead fishing in NW WA state?

I want to go fly-fishing for steelhead in the Forks area, maybe go up to BC. What would be the best fishing outfit to buy for this?
for fly fishing, l might suggest a fly fishing rod and reel.
depending on the size of your fish and rivers, l would suggest one of either a 6, 7 or 8 weight, of 9′ in length, probably settling for the 7 with a weight forward/shooting head line. mainly for ease in making casting distance.
probably a sinking tip with a 9′ leader.
going up to BC you may run into bigger water and bigger fish in which case you might want an 8wt outfit.
