To answer the big question of how to fish glo bugs for steelhead.  There are many ways to fish glo bugs.  Glo bugs are a big go getter when it comes to steelhead.  There are a few good ways to fish these which I will go over now. 

Piggyback with A Wholly Bugger

My favorite way to fish glo bugs steelhead is to piggyback a wholly bugger from it.  By doing this you will imitate a small bait fish chasing after an egg.  This method is probably the best method for fishing glo bugs for steelhead.  You can try this anytime of the day.

Single Rig

You can rig a single glo bug on the leader and do a dead drift or wet fly swing.  This is an effective method when steelheads are feeding heavily specifically early morning and dusk.

Piggyback Two Glo Bugs

You may also find it useful to piggyback two glo bugs off of one another.  This again works best in the early morning or evening when the fish are feeding heavily. 

 These are just a few simple methods for fishing glo bugs for steelhead.  Try some of these and do some experimenting with piggybacking and color selection.  Steelheads are picky eaters and sometimes throwing what everyone else is will get you nowhere.  That is why it is crucial for your success to experiment a lot until you find what they are eating.  Good luck and have fun.
