Fly Fishing Steelhead for Beginners - Part 3 - Nymph Fishing for Steelhead

This is Part 3 in our series, "Nymph Fishing for Steelhead". We use this technique on all sorts of rivers including the Methow, Wenatchee, Klickitat, Deschutes, John Day, Grande Ronde, and many more. It is very effective and similar to the fly fishing tactics used for trout. In this video, a Switch Rod and a Wulff Ambush Line was used.

Thanks for the comments X1, we appreciate it. Fly fishing for steelhead can be a daunting challenge considering how few are sometimes in the rivers. At least now you will have some direction and know that you are doing most things right and have some confidence!

It is a Wulff Ambush Line, it is great for short to mid range nymph drifts but is tough to mend big and feed line in the larger runs. It is a one piece line (no loop to loop) at the shooting head which is nice. If you view the Ambush at redsflyfishing com there are some more videos and info dedicated specifically to this fly line.

Great vid, informative no bs, lots of info my brain had to multitask.. A+ badass, although actual spey casting is much less annoying when throwin those wind resistant float indicators, I hate backcasting... customized my single rod to a switch for that reason, just less bs to deal w/...
