Lets say the Vedder has a sloping bank on one side and a drop-off bank on the other. Lets say the whole river is like that. Generalizing for the whole river, which side would steelhead prefer to travel up? What is your experience and why do you think that is the case?
-
Well depends on the circumstance. Right now in the in the early season, there is usually more water and moving more swiftly. Here you would want to fish the slop. Later in the season as the water drop and clears, and more anglers are out and about, you will want to fish closer to the deeper end of the run. But focussing on any one general area or type of water is a bad idea, as steelhead will sit anywhere as I have found.

Fish everything, even where you don't think a fish would be. You never know where one may be sitting, I wouldn't just concentrate on one style of water.
-
if it is a fresh run, fish close in and gradually move out. Do it for 10-20 minutes and move on.

just stay home where its warm, steelhead are a myth ;) LOL
-
So variables can change where they would prefer to sit in any given stretch of water, water visability, flow rate, angling pressure, bottom structure, the way the water hits the drop or slope, the type of water they just ran through, type of water above them, water temp, etc.
-
I think it would depend greatly on interest rates and service charges etc.
-
yes this is true, i heard that DFO has installed some tolls on a few select runs for the upcoming season so we may see a few steelies choosing to take alternate routes

this is so true.
there's an old roman saying "Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish" even though its like 2000 years old. I have caught fish in places no one likes to fish.
