Great presentation last week.  I learned a few good tips on how to mix up my steelhead techniques.
While we are on knots, I think you said you use a modified albright to attach between your braid and floro.  Have you had any issues with them breaking after several days of them going back and forth through your guides?

I personally have not had issues with this knot breaking or snagging on the rod guides, when it's tied right. I use P-Line or Seaguar fluorocarbon fishing line. Every year or once in a season, i usually change out my Fluoro bumper & retie new line to my braided main.
Loon makes a product I really like called UV Knot Sense that is a clear epoxy substitute. It smoothes out the line's transition through the guides and is a fuss free knot insurance. It sets up almost immediately in natural light.  As Walt mentioned at the seminar, it can also be used as a multipurpose glue for small flies/gear or "glueing" small pebbles to your line for added weight in a drift, in the place of split shot.

Thanks for the info.  I think I will have to start gluing my splice knots.
