Steelheading in WA?

I Just got a new rod and reel. Rod: 2 hander 13' 8 weight by reddington, reel: Ross Cl-5. with Versa tip Skagit Line by Rio. I went and fished the Deschutes with no luck last week and couldn't help but wonder what tip and/or flies to use. the line i bought has three different options. 1. floating tip, 2 sinking tip. and 3. i believe, heavy sinking tip. I used the floating line for a while with green butted skunk type flies. No Luck. is this the right pairing i wondered, plenty of good swings? Then switched to semi sinking tip with weighted flies. No Luck? I plan on fishing the Skykomish and surrounding WA rivers for steelhead a lot this winter. Any suggestion on what i should swing or drift? I watched some shows and videos and it seems like moe eggs or egg patterns are what a lot of people use? Any suggestions? I need to catch one of these things. I have tried on what is now 4 trips to no avail. getting discouraged, but love casting the stuff- 54Chief567
