tctrout 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Here's a pattern I want to share with all, especially now that it's steelhead season. This fly, Ian's Brass Ass, was designed around the Great Lakes region and tied specifically for steelhead. It has since caught on with the Czech-style crowd, and has caught many trout and grayling. It's a great pattern to have in your box, between sizes 10 & 20, plus feel free to vary the colors of the wire; hope you enjoy!Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Find that interesting considering all the flies tied with so much movement in them. Is that pattern the original colours or is that your colours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Come on Ben, when we going to see some of these monsters hanging in a Pike/Musky? I've got 5 months of the frozen north now to look forward to and a bit of fish envy is needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mars Rover 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Wooly Weenie – Greenie (two-tone) I hackle most woolies with hen cape inserted into a dubbing loop. Almost indestructible, soft and I like the way it sticks out at all angles. Can usually find the right size on cheap Indian hen capes. It took the best sections of three small feathers to hackle this. You can hackle really heavy if you like. Use lots of sticky wax in the loop to cut down on frustration. Primp hackle after twisting and before winding. Ha- I'm actually gonna fish this to wild browns today! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
