Steelhead on the fly

A couple of Washington steelhead, hundreds of miles from the ocean, fly fishing!

Thumbs up Re: Steelhead on the fly

Those are awesome pictures, and awesome fish.
Is the fly on the 2nd picture a wooly?
CONGRATULATIONS.

Re: Steelhead on the fly

Thanks! It's a purple egg-sucking leech - that I tie mostly for use on the Methow River here in Washington. Not much different from a wooly bugger though, and they'll take those too. I'm not much of a fly tier, I can only seem to tie the bigger, uglier flies!

Regards, Guy

Great fish! Is that the Methow you're on then?

Re: Steelhead on the fly

Guy: if they eat them flies you tie, it must be because they are good enough. I often tie flies that dont look like nothing named, and trout will hit them anyway. So I guess it is just a matter of hunger, luck, and good fly presentation or movement.
That looks like a really nice river for fly fishing.
Thanks for the pictures, I enjoyed them.
