nebc Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 mini green butt skunk n mini thunder n lightning prawner n butcher ish! I like those ties. I recently bought a Nor-vise with the optional tube fly setup and may try some steelhead flies similar to your colors and materials that you have used here.

BBBrownie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Those look like great ties, should be some effective steel patterns. Only thing is I don't know that they resemble butt skunks, blue charm, or thunder and lightning other than in color. These patterns are general not weighted, although they may have lead around the shank. These are all more intruder style flies, but again, they look great, regardless of what they are called they will catch fish! I've been tying a bunch of my own intruders lately, they're fun and you can get creative with em. I don't recall what you called it, but the blue and black with silver mylar looks like it would be a hot pattern this fall (Blue Bug?).

jack Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Headed for Steelhead Alley in NW BC in October, for my very first stab at steelies. Was advised by an addicted steelhead junkie that "skating" October Caddis are "it". So, here for your approval: I've been also told to tie it with a riffling hitch to accentuate the skate. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurrie Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 thanks yall! riley i will get up some pics of some intruders ive bin crankin out tonight prob.. drew.. soon!!!! Awesome man, I'll be up in Terrace in early--->Mid September for some Steelhead, Coho, pink etc etc action! (hopefully). I'll have to try and tie a few of those patterns before I head up, never been before! If the water is off colour I hear the "purple Tagger" is a good pattern, they tied it during an episode on "Sport fishing on the fly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say the drug is the tug..till you hit one up top. Nice looking tie there and yep the Caddis needs a hitch as it tends to get soggy and sink in the choppy stuff.

If the water is off colour I hear the "purple Tagger" is a good pattern, they tied it during an episode on "Sport fishing on the fly" I tide some of those up and the Pinks love them in clear water, also had many very chrome flashes come up to the surface when i took the sink tip off. They are honestly a must have fly. I have seen so many steelies come up and chase them. In many different areas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
