Steelhead competion poll

Damn tough call on this one. Much depends on the time of the season as well as the specific conditions. Taking flossing out of the equation, I've seen times when flies absolutely killed it in a given locale while sacs or other baits did very little. By the same token move to a different location on the same day in the same river/creek/trib and it's sacs all day with flies going completely un-noticed.

Overall I'd say sacs by an avg. 15% margin for fall, flies by a 30% margin for the depth of the cold season, and an even split come March.

Definitely a good conversation question!
