Hywel 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 Hi Ya'll Just for grins and giggles, I thought I'd post a new'ish pattern of mine called, the 'Solylent Green' - which is just a color variation of the Sultan Blue. The fly is my way of thumbing my nose at the 'conventional thinking' that Green isn't a productive color for Steelhead - and to have a 'change of pace' fly when the other 'hot' colors aren't working. *g* Which leads me to opening a can of worms; Why is it that predominately green flies aren't popular in the Northwest, yet seem to be one of the 'go-to' colors on the East Coast?

Redwings1 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 Good looking fly...I can say with a good deal of certainty that it would catch steel in the Erie basin. I suppose with that name we don't want to know what's in it though...eh... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Boyer 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2007 It's true, most Northwest steelhead flies have orange or purple as the dominant colors. Nice to see a 'greenie'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
