I can't wait for steelhead. I got a Chinook swinging an olive and brown the other day. I t was pretty cool. I have to learn to tie some flies more for swinging, likely start with intruders?

Twin #2 hooks, marabou, polar chenille, flashabou and ice dub for the head. And of course the eyes.

Beauty....jerk-stripping these guys makes them irresistible. Seems like it's the ability for it to be jerked, and then just stop and undulate a little bit.

Hey all, new to the forum and new to steelhead fishing in general really but I have high hopes for the season and been putting in lots of vise time. Here's a streamer I tied last night that will hopefully get some time in the river tonight actually. Think it'll fish?

Try sally Hansen nail polish to finish the heads. I thin mine a bit with acetone so it penetrates a bit. 2 coats looks great and holds
