There you go again, Little Hoover, giving out "spots" info. Now, Brett will bring 300 of his buddies to the S. Fork!
Email me about your successes this weekend. I'm still physically recovering. Bad shoulder and wrist.
Brett, I'd use an 8 wt. on the Smith. It's VERY tough to fish. I spent 7 days in the rain there last Feb. with no hits, runs or errors...maybe it was an error staying so long!
I agree with Jay that the forks are more accessable. I used large egg patterns when I hooked my fish, but there, the steelies are more like the fish of a four thousand casts.
I'd try the Chetco in So. Oregon.
