ok guy christmas eve i am heading up to a creek up here. just looking for ideas on flies to take

Ok guys the gf and I are heading up to NY in march for steelhead fishing for a week. Any flies in particular I should tie for the trip. Only been tying since the begining of fall so still new but love it. I have been though the fly database but still on the search for useable flies. Any ideas would be great thanks

Girlfriend and I went to a fly tying symposium last week in Somerset, NJ. Well while there we happen to come across The Nor-vise. Well we fell in love with the whole system they have for it. Anybody out there have it and if so what do you think about it? the only thing we dont like about it is the price. Take a look at it and tell me what you think. www.nor-vise.com

i was just ask because the reel was given to me as a gift and seeing as how i don't have a boat for trolling figured i would ask. and i was not ignoring John I was at work

come on guys please. somebody must have an opinion

only posted it here cause this what post on a lot since this what i mostly fish for this time of year

Ok just a great mooching reel, I know mooching reels are used for trolling but it is built just like a fly reel and has an awesome drag system. here is the link to it http://www.cabelas.com/product/Daiwa-M-One...=mooching+reels . Can this be used as a fly reel, you can turn the drag of and on with a switch and can palm it as well. Also backing does it have to dacron or can you use floroucarbon or braided line for it? I know probably not braid since it would cut into the fly line at the knot.

just got a new rod with a lot of flex and i mean a lot of flex. it is labeled as a 6 weight just wondering if this would be ok for winter steelhead in new york?

What about if you stripped the red insulation off of say 18 gauge thermostat wire so it still flutters in the water

yeah i thread the pom poms on 6lb floroucarbon but i think i threaded to many on it. i wrapped the flouro around each egg to keep the line hidden

Could you tie this flie with something like a red pipe cleaner for example?

yeah Taylor like I said my first one of that style. So it was just really to see how it went. Going to change the hook size and may reduce the number of pom poms I use on the line. If I tie a few more may change stuff around. I will just keep as a just in case fly lol

Tied this fly after seeing a couple different post on other sites and figured I would try something along the lines of it tell me what you think. I know all the colors don't match but hey you never know right. Could be just the fly to use on those tough days. eggs.bmp

well with low vis i go with the bright color egg patterns and some blue egg patterns. dont know what it is with blue but they hit it

yes they sell them in a bunch of different sizes
