Great discussion about rigging stingers here, play button is at bottom of page, fast forward to 47 minutes and listen till about 52 mins:

That was pretty good. Hooks like the Gamakatsu Octopus and Owners are offset bait hooks. Not sure if they're chemically sharpened, but the Owners are sharp as hell.

I also liked the part about Steelhead striking short. Last summer I lost fish two nice fish to short strikes (sight fishing), I'm hoping stingers will help this.

 

The show with Aaron Jasper on that site is also good. He's got some great info regarding nymph rig design.

Some intruderish shrimp flies I'm tying for a salmon fly swap. I wonder if a trout would take em on the swing.

Although I have had good success with black/olive pick yer pockets, the ole' unweighted Bow River Bugger is hands down the most productive streamer I swing. That bushy deer hair head makes all the difference in the movement and disturbance of water.

Here is my "Intruderish" fly, but it's more a half in half with a trailer. I haven't used it in the Bow, but have used it for Walleye around Edmonton.
