Is 20 Pound Line Good For Puyallup River Steelhead Fishing?

Is it too little or too much?

Too heavy in my opinion, if your using spinning gear I would go with 10 pound, if youre using a level wind 12 or 14 pound should do the trick.

[sickbayer]

yeah but if you snag something at leasxt you get the hook back...

Puyallup closes next Friday. But for steelhead you probably only need 10 but when the kings or chums are there I use either 12 or 15.

Just use a huge braid. Shoot go 100 lb even I mean it is only like a 20 lb dia. The find the biggest treble hook ya can find. Razor sharp of course. A good size weight and start scraping up all the snags you can get onto and clean it up for next year lol. I bet someone thought I was gonna say start snaggin fish.

Don't forget to replace your reel with a wench as well. :o)
