FixorFish: I am too old and too far away so you should find somebody locally. I know guides are expensive but call one up and ask to make a deal. Going on a guided trip as a last minute replacement can be cheaper and can help you meet new people interested in fishing but not experienced. Worked for me once.
Another way is to hang out at tackle shops, listen to the bs and find potential holes, tips on tackle. My son is my local expert on latest rumors.

Steel head

I agree with above; get a good guide, save time in getting into steelhead. Beware, it’s an addiction, never goes away even when age and arthritis and tremor and high BP get in the way...

Best color sunglass lens

I prefer brown polarized for fresh water. I buy cilip-ons because I lose the expensive prescription glasses.

Corona virus and old fishers

I read mostly fishing stuff from old guys. I hope all of you realize the increased susceptibility o f all of us to corona virus because of our age. Please stay out of crowded places and stay home if possible. The fish will still be there when this is over.

Casting lures below recommended casting weight.

No bites; try different lures, bait, flies, ask nearby fishermen what they’re using. People are usually less rude when they’re fishing.

Casting lures below recommended casting weight.

Much good advice above. Try a small split shot a foot or two above the lure, increase weight in small increments if you need more distance to get to the spot you want.

Snap swivels

Go to the tackle shop, tell them what you’re fishing for and lures/bait you plan to use. They will advise you on size and type of swivel, or to tie direct to main line . Take your time, you’re not in a hurry. Everybody our age shakes a little😋

I'm not one to play games to register

Thanks for your service TeMo, lots of old guys BS here but info from way back is still useful and appreciated. Another useful site with good fishing info including videos by young fishing experts is You Tube.

High and deep brown: go back to bed. Dropping: fish edges and eddies.

The fish of 1000 casts

I have had both knees and both hips replaced in last 15 years, plus balance problems so I hear you. I am planning to fish for springers but probably in a boat. So, tight lines and disappearing bobbers to you and all my fellow salmon steelheaders in the great rainy northwest😎.
