It has been written that Summer Steelhead is more about the fishing and less about the catching. A local guide told me to expect one steelhead per 750 casts. That requires some serious dedication, faith, and perserverance. Good thing it is a darn good way to spend the day.
Although not for everyone, the slender cast/fish ratio is probably exactly what keeps the die hards going to the river. When they do get a fish on, it is like hitting the Las Vegas Jackpot. Although instead of plying their craft in a loud smoke filled room they get to do it in the great outdoors. They also learn things along the way and improve their casts. If lucky someone is there to rubdown their sore casting shoulder at the end of a hard dar.
