I've always enjoyed the creative part of coming up with our own patterns or variations on existing patterns. It's even nicer when they catch fish! Here's a sample of some of my most effective patterns.
The Brown Trout Weamer has been my most successful pattern
The Emerald Shiner imitates a popular baitfish for both bass and steelhead
The B&C; Thingy has proven to be a very effective steelhead tube fly
Named after a famed East Coast salmon guide, The Austin has done well with early fall steelhead
The Brown Trout Weamer has been my most successful pattern
This is my fly for making second pass over a fish when they have plucked at my first offering
A veriation on a famed Yorkshire wet fly, this one is good when steelhead are fussy
Caught my first Cattaraugus Creek steelhead with this fly on this well known New York state creek, hence the name
An adaptation of a pattern on of my fishing buddies loves to use and a very effective one too
A slick salmon or steelhead fly that will penetrate well and stay down
