Tying up some flies to fill up a box to make an attempt at steelhead. The nymphs are tied on #8's - hellgie/stones are on #6's - scuds are on #6 octopus. I need to make up some smaller versions of the nymphs, they are in the works. Not sure about the scuds on Octopus hooks, the eye is bent in the wrong direction from a true scud hook, but i do know the bluegills like them during the summer. haha. Steels are a far cry from gills, but we will just have to see i guess.
Nymphs:
Hellgies/Stoneflies:
Scuds:
Still have single eggs, sucker spawn and crystal meth flies to work on. I have a bunch of clousers and other minnow patterns already, but will most likely tie up a few more to try and match the emerald shiners & shad that are in the rivers as well.
