1/0 or 2/0 and corky size depends on river conditions and choice of bait or the amount of floatation u want to add to it.

Clear water conditions.....long leader, #4 hook, #12 corkie.
Dirty water conditions........shorter leader, #2 hook and a #10 corikie.
Experiment and see what you like but that is a decent starting place.
Somtimes like like to go with a double #12 in darker water.

rwgav8,
Walkindadog has it right, but i don't fish in a sled on large flat lander rivers much sorry! We have larger fish on this peninsula and more than once have i had the beast turn around take one snarl at me and straighten a small hook, even 1/0 and 2/0, so now now before we start throwin snagger remarks, lets rethink about where u fish the majority of ur trips and where i fish all the time. Beware, OlyPen has larger brutes and is the Steelhead capitol of the world and they love to eat gear, so with that, i invite u to a day of fishing on the Peninsula and u use ur 4's or whatever and i'll use my 1/0 or 2/0 hooks. Oh and by the way i run two 2/0's on drift rigs lol! Tight lines Chris

Fishin buddy, one of my favorite rivers is right there in your back yard. My son's Godfather lives there in Sequim in Sunland so it is a greta excuse to get over there and walk that swift straight river.
Tight lines!

I have gotten ywo out of a huge mud puddle after some high water at the "one down the road". Saw their dorsals as we we driving by. The river was mud so we fished the puddle! Now that was some interesting stuff!

rwgav8, whenever is fine with me! An uncle of mine has a tight work schedule, but he drives all the way up from Portland when he gets off work at like 6 or 7 on a saturday night, then we drive all the way to Forks that night, antifreeze ourselves up real good when we get there and fish all night and day. Come day time we usually drink Rockstars by the case lol and he drops me off and drives home. NO SLEEP! Now that is Steelheadin dedication at its finest lol! Come on, let the journey begin lol!
