Coming into summer, my fav would be a number 4 silver blue fox or a number 4 gold buds spinner.

I've caught hundreds if not thousands of steelhead over the years on #4  blue, BlueFox's.  A close 2nd would be pink

I haven't fished in a few years but I always did well with the Blue Fox if I was casting and the old corkie, yarn and egg setup if I was bottom bouncing
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.
