Let me start by saying this is a great video. I love The New Fly Fisher series and Orvis videos. I've learned an extraordinary amount about fishing from your videos. They are always so detailed and precise. So I am compelled to let you know there is an error at 1: 58. The fish shown is not an emerald shiner, it's either an alewife or a shad. The body profile is much deeper than a shiner and it has the telltale spot of shad /alewife.

Thanks guys, I went looking for a video on how to tie a white zonker that there was Mr. Blood showing how to tie the fly you were using. Now to get some 1/8 zonker strips and some mylar tubing. Thanks guys. Now if you would just come to Michigan and do some fishing, we've got great fishing here too. On second thought stay in Ohio no sense in giving away our secrets; -.

Sorry guys, those fish ARE NOT anadromous. Therefor, they are not steelhead. We have lake run rainbows here in northern Montana, and we do not call them steelhead. Plus, those fish aren-t any bigger than a plain old rainbow trout. No comparison to a wild b-run pacific steelhead. Real steelhead, not those lake run fish you-re after. Sorry, but it-s the truth.

I'm just off to the Tongariro River down-under in NZ to catch a few fresh run Rainbows which are like your Steelheads. They run from Lake Taupo up the river to spawn. I thought this year I'd try your White Zonker even though our bait fish are different. Thanks for the inspiration and excellent presentation.

I always top mine with a few strands of peacock herl that have been dipped in head cement for durability; just to provide a dark back probably not necessary though, looks cunning.

Great video. I live in Colorado and have never had the opportunity to fish for steelhead. I hope to someday soon! What kind of nets are you using? They look great.

Now that the West Coast steelhead fishery has sadly collapsed (CA and now Columbia system, you should expect to see more anglers fishing on your rivers.

I have never found food in the stomach of an adult steelhead in Alaska's freshwater streams in 40 years. Still, this is worth giving a try!

Fished elk today and watch a guy hammering the Steelhead with the White Death fly. Great video. One of the most informative I have seen
