    How far up will a salmon or steelhead come up to get a spawn bag under a bobber? I was always told you need to be within a few inches or practically bounce it off them, but that seems difficult. Especially if you are on new water because hole & run depth can change so much within the hole.

  • @Chiefz

    @Chiefz

    2 жыл бұрын

    Really depends on the time of year. In the fall your steelhead will be more willing to swim farther for a bait, I generally like to start shallower and work my way down. 95% of the time those fish will be sitting within a foot of bottom unless they’re hiding under shelter like a log jam etc
