From their native waters of the Pacific Northwest to the Great Lakes, the steelhead is a prize catch for fly anglers. Traditionally, steelhead fished for by swinging elegent and colorful flies modeled on Atlantic salmon flies and British spey flies. Although they can be caught on a diverse assortment of swung flies , simple egg and nymph patterns fished with a dead drift are often the most effective for steelhead. Day in and day out, eggs and nymphs are the flies of choice for a large number of professional guides and will produce fish all season long.
Join steelhead expert Jerry Darkes as he shares patterns that are guide favorites. You will learn basic egg patterns like the McFly™ Egg and Cyclops, along with nymphs like the E-Z Stone, E-Z Hex, Elk Creek Caddis and Linsenman's Tricolor. Whether you are a beginning or seasoned steelhead angler, these patterns should have a place in your vest! Approximate running time 52 min. Copyright© 2003
