Here's one for you. This summer when the blues blitz was on I actually had a time when the blues were steel leader shy on my fly rod. Go figure, the fish were breaking all around the boat, I would cast into the middle and nothing? So I finally took the steel leader off and put on 30# Fluoro (biggest I had). and as soon as I stripped the fly once...FISH ON. The weird thing about it is when we used plugs the fish didn't care anything about the steel leader...
