Where are adult steelhead stocked? I’m guess these are fish taken to a hatchery for spawning and then released?

If you put the dumbbell eyes below an upturned eye hook how does the fly ride?
@KevinHospodar3 ай бұрын
it will ride how it is sitting in the vise... upturned shank eye with dumbbell eye on bottom
@fenrirunshackled43193 ай бұрын
Why is most of the dressing facing up? Wouldn't it make more sense to have flash on the bottom since fish will be viewing it from below?
@KevinHospodar3 ай бұрын
The fish will see the fly from the back and below as it moves into vision. it can't also be presented broad side. There is a a hollow construction and sparse flowing materials, with cover and expose the flash with movement

Do you find this pattern works best certain times of the season (early fall, winter or spring) or is it more any all year round pattern, and you fish it when water conditions permit?
@KevinHospodar4 ай бұрын
With a large fly like this, I don’t find it effective in low and clear with stale fish. I’ll fish it any time of the year, just maybe an adjustment on color. I tie a pink/orange for mid winter to grab attention

This loop knot was the first one I came across when I was looking for one. What I found with the Perfection Loop is that 1.) it's awkward to tie and very difficult to get the loop the size you want. They usually end up too big. 2.) there are much simpler loop knots out there. I've ditched the Perfection Loop. For good.
@KevinHospodar5 ай бұрын
With a bit of practice these are very easy to tie and control the size. the only “easier” loop to tie would be the double surgeon loop, but that loop doesn’t orientate itself straight off the mainline.

traditional English spider/soft-hackle wet fly patterns dating back 100 years were dressed far more heavily based on the actual examples I have seen...nicely done nonetheless and it is wise to tie this pattern and others with both a heavier hackle as well as a sparser hackle in different sizes in order to give the trout a choice...
