I'm not out beating the lakes to a froth after bass, I'm using haunting a creek in the coast range chasing cutthroat. Soft hackles, classic wets, and smaller streamers get a lot of action, and I'm usually fishing dead drifts or swings, as opposed to jerk strips or crazy active retrieves.
Lot of days I'm happy as @No_Regerts in a Krispy Kreme with a 3 weight and a box of wet flies crawling up some trickle as I am wearing out my casting arm throwing big stuff at bass.
I don't do a lot of steelheading anymore - I've never been super successful at it, and now that more NW streams are open year round, I have even less impetus to drop another $30 on a tag. I didn't buy a tag last year, and IIRC, I didn't buy one the year before. I might've, I don't remember. Still undecided if I'll buy one this year.
