 Steelhead Fly Patterns: Go To Fly For The Fall Run
Posted by fliesandfinseast on Tuesday, October 16 @ 16:02:06 PDT
The time has come to get ready. Break out the vise and start replacing all the flies that got left in fish mouths or stuck in the river. What will be your go to pattern this fall? I have been tying Glo Bugs like mad, because they work, end of story. But, I got tired of doing the same thing so I put a twist on it. I put are green caddis looking body on my flies to make them look a bit more tasty. Who knows they might just work. I have been calling it the egg sucking caddis. Tell me your creations.

It never fails to catch me a fish but it also doesn't look like any egg sucking leech that I have ever seen. Oh well, it works. I need to brush up on my tying....my flies are looking horrible. Maybe that's the trick...make them ugly and they will bite! |

by KodiakCommando on Sunday, October 28 @ 20:16:37 PDT http://www.fishalaskamagazine.com | Glo bugs are my go to fly for fall steelhead too.
However gormanz bead head eggs work just as well for me and can save the day when glo bugs are not doing well. Plus the extra weight of a bead especially a tugsten one keeps the fly in the zone without much shot or no shot at all.
i also tie lots of leeches as not much is more exiting that feeling a steelhead slam your fly on the swing. After all all the saying is the tug is the drug, not the indicator going down is the drug! |
