Guest Nonus Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Besides ye olde egg, what kinda of flies do you use for steelhead here locally? I got some eggs only in once size though (14) due to my current limited supply of hooks and some egg sucking leeches. Looking at what else I should tie for the spring, want to get my arsenal ready.

I don't fly fish for steelhead but lots of guys do well with various sizes of nympths. I tried drifting last spring with them and was impressed.

Guest Nonus Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Any chance of getting the material lists for the first three. I see some biots and turkey some sort of dubbing and ribbing. Is there anything that the wooly bugger isn't good for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there anything that the wooly bugger isn't good for? Material list is like this Tail - goose biots Body- weighted .20 lead, dubbed brown/black Haretron dubbing over wrapped with vinyl ribbing if gills are desired use ostrich herl also Wingcase - turkey tail feather coated with flex coat, Thorax - dubbed brown/black Haretron Legs- ringneck pheasant body feather flex coated and the separate fibres to look like legs tied in under wing case but over dubbing Antenna - biots Not too much a wooly bugger isn't good for, it imitates lots of buggy things, here are some leeches that also work well, but better in the fall for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
