I am new to summer chinook fishing ( fished mostly summer steelhead in the past) I am unfamiliar with the etiquette of pound test up on the Santiam's, especially the more crowded areas (M.C.). I have fished fall tidewater and use 30# mainline/25# leader. I always like to go as light as possible in the summer, but I understand that spending alot of time getting a fish in can make people very angry!!
I am currently running a float rod for steelies with 35# tuff and 10# leader.....
and 12#/10# mono drift rod
Thanks for the help
