When swinging flies for salmon and/or steelhead, a common conundrum is how many steps should be taken in between casts. In other words, how much water should you cover with each cast?

It’s a question we get asked a lot from our anglers, which is why today we share with you a great video from OPST featuring Alaska West alum, Trevor Covich, on using water clarity to determine how many steps you should take when stepping down a run.

Enjoy!
