HOT STEELHEAD FLIES

 

 

SRAMBLED EGGS

Hook: Dailchi # 1530, sizes #14 - #8

Thread: Danville, fluorescent red, 6/0

Body: For a size #10 hook, secure a piece of chartreause Glo Bug Yarn and one piece of flame Glo Bug MicroYarn together just behind the hook eye. The exact thickness of the chartreuse Glo Bug Yarn piece used will vary according to the hook size (less for a smaller fly, more for a larger fly). Each piece is about 3 inches long, with the flame piece positioned on the top of the chartreuse. Working backward, starting just behind the hook eye, make three segments out of the yarn  with the thread finishing at the bend. Next, take the thread and work forward, wrapping diagonally over each segment once (creating the scrambled eggs effect), and whip finishing at the eye. Cut surplus yarn at the hook eye and bend to form "head" and "tail". The addition of flame Glo Bug Micro Yarn to this fly creates an appealing blood-line effect.

Comments: This fly was originated by John Miller of New York State. It is especially effective in high, stained-colored water and can be tied in a number of color combinations such as deep dark red/steelhead orange, flame/baby pink and flame/egg (all Glo Bug Yarn colors). Adding a gold brass bead to fly (prior to tying) helps to sink fly quicker in faster flows and allows for less split shot usage.

 

 

STEELIE ROCK WORM

Hook: Dai Riki #135, sizes #16-#14

Thread: Danville, fluorescent chartreuse, 6/0

Body: Fluorescent chartreuse antron yarn (spooled), ribbed with round gold tinsel (small or medium) and sealed with head cement.

Head: Single strand of black angora yarn, wrapped to form head behind 3/32 inch or 1/8 inch gold bead.

Comments: This caddis larvae imitation was originated by John Nagy and works great as a trailer below an egg pattern, particularly in cleaner flows.
