This is another great fly by master fly tyer and steelhead guide Brian Silvey. If he ties it you know it will produce. Every Steelhead angler should have a selection of these in their fly box.
Guides Choice- this pattern is a favorite in the green waters of winter steelhead fishing. Cerise and Orange colors show up well and move and swim in the water. This is a go-to pattern in winter.
Crandall's Steelhead Nightmare: This fly I had the hardest time turning over to the commercial side. It is an all time best producer for me and it is hard to beat for both winter, spring, summer and fall fish. Black and red are great colors for steelies
Promise Keeper: this pattern is a great combo of cerise and black with a bit of flash. It is a top producer most of the year. Works especially well in them medium green to clear water conditions.
