Like several things in fly fishing you can ask 10 different fly anglers a single query and you will get 10 different answers. And the answer varies with each situation. Most steelheaders use at least a 7 weight rod. There that is the end of it, apart from one thing. We, fly fishermen have an eternal practice of complicating things. For one thing it might severely limit my time on the water, and would force me to lose about three-fourths of my beloved fly fishing gear.
But it does not stop there, there are some species that entomologists have identified. We had not seen the fish rise so openly for any fly as they went and did for this hatch. Erie steelheaders have a tendency to use floating line as the brooks are smaller, they are perfect. If you want a little boost in casting then get a weight forward line, marked by WF on the package. On giant brooks one should carry a floating line and a sinking tip line, as the conditions change in the season.
