In this episode Nick and John truly take a deep wade into the five reasons they are their favorite fish.  They love steelhead because of their diversity and their behavioral tendences. For instance, an angler may catch a steelhead ranging from half-pounders to thirty-pounders, from dry flies to nymphs. Further, one doesn't fish for steelhead like salmon. Salmon tend to school in pools. Steelhead live more solitary lives, mostly in moving water -- resulting in the rhythmic movements of step - cast - step - cast.  No stripping. No sitting in the same place for two hours. Whether you fish a 5 wt or a 9 wt, the interior or the coast, this episode offers something for every angler.  Tune in for a highly informed discussion about about why steelhead are such a cool animal.
