Two main strategies for steelhead fly fishing: nymphing and swinging flies. These two tactics that couldn’t be more different.
One is about getting down and dirty, while the other is about making a nice gentle swing across the water. With one, you are chucking and ducking, and with the other you are coaxing a steelhead to come up to your offering. One is about dredging the bottom, and the other is about hooking fish near surface.
