Baydawg,
I'll have to give them a try this spring. We mostly pull spoons for the trout over here.

I am thinking that I will give them a try this year.
After seeing some of the posts that Capt. Dan from Walleye Express
posted last season of walleye taken on files.

Steelhead are Steelhead no matter where they swim. I used to only fish spoons, and when they are hot, nothing else is neccesary. But, early in the the year, we run a typical Lake Michigan spread for 'em.

We typically "spoon" feed our steelies. The only times we really target them are when they school w/ the eyes in DEEP water staging for their charge to the trib mouths. Then we fish the trib mouths with spoons and sticks and the Bay in the spring w/ spoons and sticks. I guess if I felt the need to catch JUST steelies I would run a flasher/fly

I don't know if they are still made commercially, but I still have a few Kent Fly that I use. Some are rebuilt and don't really look very much like the original.

I also make some of my own. Thank you Caz for your tutorial on making flies.
