hey im just wondering what are some of your favourate flies to use on the vedder for steelhead????
thanks costas
-
in your first couple years concentrate on as little patterns as possible, just vary the size of them and colour of course.
the top two i would go with:
General Practitioner
MOAL(mother of all leeches) / bunny leech
the second one is super easy to tie. the GP takes a little bit more skill but not much ;)
-
thanks!! ;D

"Big Black," designed in Alaska for steelhead and is one of the best steelhead patterns I have found. It is also the best all around leach patterns I have found.
-
Here are a few that I have done well with.

Just kidding.....I've got to start tying tube flies. Have you ever thought of a way not to lose the fly if you did hook up onto something if your leader broke at the knot on the hook? Wonder if a bobber stopper just up from the hook would work....or do you think it's worth the bother?
-
i couldn't really see a way, better off just not fishing as deep and forcing the fish come slam the fly.

Nice flies guys.
