This pattern was created by Leroy Hyatt, our local tying celebrity. It is a great steelhead pattern for the Clearwater, Snake and Grand Ronde Rivers, but has also fished well on more distant destination rivers. The colors in this just make it really glow in the water. Give it a try! Hook: Ahrex Homerun HR413 Classic Single size #2 Underbody: woolly nylon Thread: Semperfli Classic Waxed, 8/0; Bl...

Brian was looking through an old book, and found this stone fly pattern. We love a good stone fly pattern- as we have a healthy amount of them in our rivers in central Idaho.

This fly is one of Tim Flagler's from Tightline Productions. He combined the Bird's Nest and a Whitlock's Red Squirrel Nymph, and dubbed it the Flying Squirrel. Both of the original patterns fish really well here, but we sure have fallen in love with the Flying Squirrel in various sizes and colors.

This is a Carey Special variation using some of my favorite materials. We were fishing Omak Lake on the Colville Indian Reservation when I first tested this pattern out. The Lahontans in there loved it! It was the fly of the trip for sure! I've tied a few more variations to try this Spring on our yearly trip. I've since fished it in some of our local lakes and rivers with good success. Give it ...
