Answer 1

Although it sounds as if you are doing everything right, If you want to catch more steelhead, they will be at different places in the river at different times of the morning, day, evening. In the morning, look for them to be at the tail-outs and also at the heads of the pools, then as the sun gets higher in the sky look for them to begin to move to deeper water. Concentrate your efforts on the edges of current breaks and next to drop-offs. Where you find one there should be more. During the evening hours you can watch their wakes as they move up through the shallows, If there is a place that "funnels" them through...set up at the head of the "funnel" and try to pick up the fish as they are moving up the river.  Hope this gets you a few more steelies. Where are you fishing by the way?
