Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2003 QUOTE (redneckfisherman @ Nov 30 2003, 07:15 PM) Well, I don`tk now any stealhead patterns, but I would like to learn some. It seems like smallie talked bout wooly buggers bein good. Are they steelie patterns? If not, are marrabou buggers? If not, could someone tell me a good pattern to learn to tie. I guess what I`m tryin to say is, if yall don`t mind a new steelie tier gettin in, then I`m in. Hope to get up and fish for them when I get my license, and I could just go ahead and get the flies now. So, I`m in! Tight lines and good tyin!-redneck Red sure you can join! If you want to tie a wooly bugger then just add a little sparkle (krystal flash) to the tail and a egg head if you want and presto...instant steelie fly SD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted December 1, 2003 I`m thinkin a spring wiggler. It doesn`t look that hard. Does that color matter? I was thinkin a gray squirrel tail, with olive gray chenille, black thread, and grizzly hackle. Would that work?

HDS 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2003 yeah the xxx-pervet...its a sort of hybrid between a nymph on a curved nymph 2x hook crossed with a bugger pattern crossed with a madame-x....maybe I'll shoot for that one...I am sure you are all familiar with the egg sack? its a variant of schaadts egg sack..you know that one? tight lines HDS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted December 1, 2003 Well, I tied up those flies last night, with all I had. I had a gray squirrel, squirrel tail, some olive gray leech yarn, and some grizzly saddle hackle. Tied it up with those. I think it looks pretty good, but then again, I aint a steelie. If yall think this is good tell me, and if yall don`t think it`s good, I guess I`ll either look for another fly, or drop out of the swap. Thanks in advance! Tight lines and good tyin!-redneck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have not received it. Please PM me. I do not have a digital camera and will not be able to post pictures of the flies. Once the swap is completed. Can some one volunteer to take pictures and post on the board? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
