Fly Fishing for Steelhead With A Small Pontoon Boat

No comments yet

Springtime steelheading at its finest—swinging flies from my 9-foot pontoon as the river dropped into perfect shape. The water was beautiful, the scenery was unbeatable, but the steelhead had other plans. Sometimes, the journey is just as rewarding as the catch.

Join me on this solo mission as I explore prime steelhead water, break down my approach, and soak in the beauty of the river. Even when the fish don’t cooperate, there’s nothing better than a day on the water.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
