acurrie Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has any Deceiver recipes that they wouldn't mind sharing for some Steelhead and Coho fishin. I know Steelies generally like Purple and pink and Coho like Chartruesse, orange and silver but not sure how to put it together. I'm gonna try and tye up a whole bunch of streamers before heading up to the Skeena in a few weeks. Thanks! Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Tie up some in Electric Chicken Colours (Pink / chartreuse) and Showgirl (purple / pink). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Colored and size for Coho is dictated by the visibility in the river. Lime green works well in clear water, "coho blue" works well anytime as long as you can add a attractant color during low vis conditions. Long shank #2 with lead wire wrapped. Clear water killer: For steelhead, get out your floating line, 8' leader and #4 October Caddis, tie it riffle hitched and go get 'em. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurrie Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions, I'm in the process of trying to tie some up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyangler Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Coho like this in blue and silver with a grizzly tail. You may want a swivel to keep from knotting your tippet, but it works just fine on heavy tippet if you expect it to just wobble, not spin. I made mine out of blue lure tape that I found among the spinners in a tackle shop and used some silver mylar from a potato chip bag. I did clean the chip bag before tying or it would have driven me crazy at the tying bench, as I try not to eat and tie in the same area! http://bvipirate.com/spoonfly/index.html Smallmouth bass seem to like this one too.

nebc Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was just browsing around the http://www.canadiantubeflies.com web site at their saltwater and steelhead flies. Lots of good ideas there, and plenty of showpieces. I liked the Deceiver idea they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 A good colour combo to have handy is chartruese and kelly green, taken almost all species of salmon on this combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acurrie Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 All those patterns look awesome. I'm gonna give some Intruders a try, they look like they would have a lot of "life" in the water. Here are a few patterns I've been tying. Kinda taking a few idea's here and there. My Camera is brutal at close range so the quality sucks. #1 #2 #3: I call this one "Team Canada!" #4 And here is a Pic of a Bull I picked up on #2 this last Friday... So it works! Woohoo Only 10 more days to Go..... Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like good ones Wolfie. For your weighted one how many wraps were you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 the number of wraps are not important as the size of lead wire I'm using..OK..I've just checked to see what weight it is or size, but cause these are real old they do not state anything..however..the smallest is .020, so the one I use would be .030 or .035, yes I would have to say.. .035 would be the size. And as far as wraps are concern..only from 1/3 back from the eye to just before the bend at the back of the hook. ..hope that helps you...Wolfie ...

Wolfie Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 been tying in between time some of my favorite streamers, like the two I posted , but in different colour combinations, in hopes that one of them might yield me an Alberta Bull, will post some pics, after I've done a few more...........Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
