- wear waders and get IN the water with the fish to land it.
- take only a quick pic and avoid the prolonged photo shoot while a fish suffocates out of water
- use reasonable sized hooks, change out the gaffs on store bought lures like spoons
- give others a wide berth, fishing here is about the experience, make it a good experience for you and others
- if you are fishing gear, avoid those areas where fly fisherman favor, they are very limited to water that they can fish, gear can be fished almost anywhere.
- if you enjoy the serene setting there, keep your success under wraps, it will only make it better for you to enjoy later
This fishery is not about success and numbers, if you are looking for that, this is not the place. This is a place to go to enjoy fishing for Steelhead in one of the greatest settings on the planet. Take time to absorb the surroundings, watch Chukars flying on slopes, big horns walking down the tracks and the large sand and stone hoodoos far above you.
Hopefully all of us as anglers can rally together in the future to improve the plight of this extra special breed of Steelhead.
