Need some advise

If you aren't catching fish, move. I'm not talking get in your car, and drive to a new location. Move from the top of the hole to the bottom. or bottom to top. From a hole to a ripple, or a ripple to, a pocket, or chute. From the inside seam, to the outside seam. Keep trying different spots, till you find where they are laying. Using different baits, adjusting weight, and float depths at each spot. No one can tell specifically what to use, where, not knowing what the water conditions, let alone the mood of the fish will be tomorrow, or next week.
 
If you start catching lots of Smolt ( baby 4"-6" Steelhead ), again try moving, and up size your bait. Bait, maggots, waxworms, and sigle eggs, as well as egg pattern flys are a poor choice in smolt filled areas.

There is still a lot of fish in the creeks.  Try using egg sacs with pink or chartruese netting.  Also having a couple dozen minnows won't hurt.  Most guys use a float but I have been having better luck recently dragging my baits along the bottom with a single split shot.  I've been getting a few more snags but I'm also getting hookups on a regular basis.  Just a suggestion.  Lower Elk has been very good all season.  Don't be afraid to fish the fast current over the main holes.  If you find the right drift in these spots they can be very rewarding.  Plus they don't seem to get hammered as much as the hot spots.  My two biggest steel of the year have come out of medium to shallow rapids.  Good Luck!

Use jigs 1/32 oz.  tipped with maggots or emeralds and you won't have any trouble with smolt.  You may have trouble keeping those big silver bullets off though...  I like to get myself in trouble from time to time!

Thats right jigs jigs and more jigs.
