Use a stealthy approach when the river is low and clear, and try a thinner tippet. When the water is cold, indicator tactics work well around slots, rocky pocket water, and near ledges because steelhead won't move far for a fly.
After a rain, when the river has some color, use a type 3 or type sink-tip line and traditional tactics. Marabous and Egg Sucking Leeches are productive patterns here, as elsewhere on the Peninsula.
Pick a large dark fly (purple or black) if the water is on the turbid side and fish the margins of the river. Choose a smaller fly in pink or orange if the water is clear.
