The spring fishing was tough for me to time right on the Brule. Some story, should have been here 2 days ago. We ended up with more browns than steelhead which was odd for the spring run. This one hit on a dark spinner after my partner had thrown silver into the same hole for 20 minutes. It pays to change things up and try new lures some days.
I did see quite a few fish caught on what could be called "Brule fly rods". These are fly rods loaded with mono and drift fished with spawn or bright colored yarn. Not my cup of tea but a very effected method of catching steelhead on the Brule. I would say 80% of the fisherman use this teachnque on this river.
