Personally, I enjoy fishing a gold size 8 Kreelex streamer. I think it looks very flashy in the water, and it is always fun using heavier pound test line for Steelhead. I would love to see photos of your catches/streamers you use for Steelhead and Brown Trout! I usually strip this fly in the fall and spring. I have slowly swung it across currents in the winter and as well found success. Typically, I do not have to attach weight or perhaps a splitshot about 12 inches above the fly. Occasionally, I use polyleader that is a fast sink leader, then about five feet of line, kreelex. Ready to fish.
If you would adjust what I am doing, I would welcome some feedback or critiques.
