I'm an Indiana born and raised kid, moved on to Oregon.  I've been here ten years now, lost in a paradise of trout and steelhead.  I'm headed home to visit the family for Christmas and looking for any advice on landing a steelhead in my native state. 

Done a little research but timing seems vague in every article I read.  Looking to fish after Christmas before new years.  Where can I fish at that point in the year.  I've read a little about St. Joes and Trail Creek. 

Is this all pretty much a nymphing game?  Is there good swing water and are they receptive?  Any productive spey water on the St. Joe?

Any thoughts would help.  Thanks.
