wwwweeeeellllllllllllll........
having all the stuff to tie nicely and neatly organized is one thing, then actually tying is another...i claim to tie flies, although one wouldn't guess it by looking at me or my tying supplies.
 :bash:
another hobby i need to create more time for.

I'm tying up a new 5wt. for the little brother for Christmas.  Haven't got around to doing any bugs yet, to much hunting this fall and winter.  I want to get out for some post high water steel this weekend.  Guess I'll have to tie up some flies with the rod spins on the drier tonight and tomorrow!  Any body got some pattern suggestions?

big and dark with high off colored water...maybe a black moal leech?
good luck tying one of them though unless you have the stinger hook thing figured out. i tried a couple, i have 1 thats tied, but not too confident on the line holding between the 2 shanks.

My buddy was down there again today and caught 5, took two home that were 14 lbs.  Looks like we'll be camping down there Thursday-Sunday.

Hell, tying jigs is tying. If there are people out there that build their own gear...spinners, plugs etc. please post.

Grand Ronde: My wife killed them with a sort of traditional muddler minnow. I say sort of because I was taught to always have a wee bit of red tucked in next to the squirrel before you start with the deer hair.
Other stuff for the GR would be comet,marabous(chartreuse, black and purple), freight trains, skunks. I guess that would be it. But pack some muddler minnows I don't think you'll be disappointed.

the rhonde fish are very surface oriented in october or thereabouts. if you can skate a muddler or bomber or something like that at the right time of year, it can very fun to have steelhead rising to skated dry flies. probably a little late now, but a couple months ago...
if you don't mind straying from the steelhead fly-only type flies, those fish are also real trouty, in that they will readily eat bug patterns and nymphs under an indicator if thats your style too. also don't miss the smallmouth bass opportunities on that river. i got a 4 pounder there one day on my 4 weight out of a driftboat.

yeah...i knew that. i'll try it  again one of these days. how do you work the tie to the forward shank??
i think they make pre-tied loops or something along those lines for them now.

bone...they're deadly in the winter time anywhere. i've used them in different colors for bass too.
