It depends on if they are wild steelhead or hatchery steelhead. I've
found that the wild ones won't touch a fly with 4 turns, not even 4 and
a half.

When I give someone a fly recipe with ribbing, one of the common
questions they ask is; "How many turns on the ribbing?" If I say; "I
don't know 5 or 6 will do." They ask; "Well is it 5 or 6?" I now tell
everybody 5. I think it's become the standard because I catch myself
asking the same dumb question and getting the same answer.

I really doubt the fish cares.

But, be sure to start the ribbing from the top of the butt of the fly
or it's useless.
