Alright, I know some of you guys out there fly fish. You know who you are, so go ahead and admit it. I have a fly setup, and it rarely ever gets out of the tube, much less used, but lately I've had thoughts of trying to catch me a steelhead on the long rod. I need guidance in my planning, as I am: 1) A steelhead dummy, and 2) A bigger fly fishing dummy.

Hopefully those things won't combine to cause me to totally strike out.

Anyway, I have a 9 foot 6 wt rod, with matching reel, and a 6 wt weight forward floating line. Is this going to be suitable for steelheading, or is it too light? Also, what type of flies and terminal setups should I be looking at? Nymphs under a strike indicator? Dry flies on top? Egg patterns? What What What???

I know it's a bit late in the season to be thinking about this stuff, but what river would one go to in order to have a pretty decent shot at catching one of these overgrown trout?

Any of you guys possibly going in the near future that wouldn't mind a tag-along?
