I don't want to entirely discourage you from stream fishing. There are rare occasions where I do get a salmon to chase down offerings...from flies to roe bag to worms...but that is very, very rare. If you do fish in the streams, be prepare to face a lot of non-responsive fish.

Even on lures, as per MA's experience, you will have many more spooked fish than fish that will play.

Keep your expectations low but be persistence...and eventually you will find a handful of fish that do cooperate.
