Steelhead Flies

[Dillon]

Call that one "The Bruiser" since its black and blue. Nice intruder style. Is it weighted?

I like that name. I'd like a big wild buck to try to put a bruise on it. There are micro hour glass eyes front and back. I attach them to the bottom of the tube so the trailing hook and the Finn Racoon wing will ride up in the water.

I have been watching some youtube fly tying demos. It looks like something I would really enjoy doing and hopfully its not way harder than it looks.

Those videos are done by people who've probably tied hundreds of that one pattern and thousands of flies. I love the quality of the Caddis Fly Shop videos but it will take a LONG time before I can tie as efficiently as they can.
