wampa 18 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 What are some of your favourite steelhead flies to tie and use? There seem to be a lot recommended online and in the books, but I am wondering for around Tbay. I want to put down the centerpin this year and attempt with the fly rod only.

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Stone flies, any egg pattern. Streamers. Egg sucking leeches. Marabou streamers. Intruders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted March 19, 2015 Stone flies or hares ears for my nymphs. Mostly use eggs. Sometimes use purple or black wooly buggers. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted March 20, 2015 I rarely go out for steelhead, but when I do I have used egg patterns, small heavy weighted nymphs, and purple wooly buggers. These were patterns recommended to me by someone who does a ton of steel-heading. Seems others use these same patterns as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toma-hawk 44 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 I tie egg patterns with (Mc. fly foam most colors). Also with cactus chenille. Nymphs. Buggers (rabbit ) worm patterns, egg sucking leeches also. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toma-hawk 44 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Squirmitos sounds interesting can't say I've seen them. Rick 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flybum 95 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 The squirmito is essentially a rubber San juan worm pattern. Just stretchy rubber legs that you ties to a hook. Stupidly simple. Supposedly deadly. We shall see!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wampa 18 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions! I already have been tying some of these, but will definitely try a couple of others.
