  • Equipment and Rigging for Steelhead Preparing for the Spring Fishing Season
    Equipment and Rigging for Steelhead Preparing for the Spring Fishing Season by Jason Swingen ne of the biggest hurdles to over- come when getting into steel- Oheading is picking out the right tools for the job. This is especially true if you are coming from spin fshing, where your rods are easily labeled, from light to heavy, and moderate to fast. Then you decide to get your frst fy rod and you are hit with terms like 1-12 weight (power of the rod, or weight of the line), weight- forward (a specifc fy line taper), tippet (fancy term for “even more leader”), and strike indicators (an advanced air flled spherical device built to sense underwa- ter activity -- also known as “a bobber”). Fly fshing can be thought of as an over- complicated form of spin fshing, so it is only ftting that the terminology is equal- ly as complex. Everyone has their own ideas on their fa- vorite brands and styles of fshing gear, but for the most part, the equipment used by 90% of anglers on the North and South Shore is all quite similar. In this article I’ll go over rods, reels, line, fies, indicators, nets, and the rest of the gear you should have if you are getting into steelheading, upgrading your cur- rent gear, or are looking for a gift for the steelheader in your family! Rod The most popular rod for fshing steel- head on the tributaries of Lake Superior is a 7wt or 8wt, fast action, fy rod. When I frst got into fy fshing, I heard that a 5wt is the most versatile fy fshing rod, but didn’t realize that they meant for trout and not necessarily for steelhead.
