Amazing!!!

I can't even imagine catching steelies in 58 degree water. Must be silver rockets. They would make a winter steelie feel even more like a heavy wet sock in the current.

I use a 7/8 Beulah switch & a 7 wt T&T DH for swinging, and an old 10.5' 8wt Ken Abrames "The Stick" for nymphing.

General rule of thumb is 7 for steel, 9 or 10 for kings. The kings pull HARD... I was undergunned on the 8, even in 335 flow.

I can't really help with spin/centerpin tackle, but I bet some others on here can.

DZ, they actually fight worse in the warm water... They tire much quicker. Much more comfortable on your hands for the release though!
