The Dolly Llama is the ideal pattern for all your big streamer fishing needs.

Senyo's Flesh Fly, Rotting Flesh Flesh Flies are very effective way to catch big trout when they are keyed into the high protein of eggs and flesh during a salmon spawn. Designed to mimic the exact color and movement of a smaller chunk of salmon flesh drifting through the water. Great pattern as a go-to for rainbow trout fishing on the Kenai River and others.

Nymphing for steelhead and sea run browns is a very effective technique. In the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest, nymphing is quickly becoming the go-to method for many anglers fishing for steelhead. The hooks used for our nymphs are stout enough to hold the heaviest steelhead or the sea run browns of Tierra del Fuego. Size: 6

Sculpin Flies are great for Steelhead, trout from Alaska, Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes. Alaska sculpin baitfish is a key source of protein for resident rainbow trout, Dolly Varden char, steelhead, and pike in Alaska lakes and streams. Jerry French has spent many seasons guiding in Alaska. It is during this time that he honed his trout fishing skills. The Alaskan trout are big, hungry meat eaters and are not shy about eating big flies. Jerry has designed his trout flies to lure the largest trout in the river. The WMD Sculpin is rigged with a size 4 AquaTalon hook.

Small Moal Leech with trailing eggs. Great Flesh Flies for Alaska. This flesh version of the moal leech is great early and late season. Try him on the swing, dead drift. The added attraction of the bead makes a big difference. A great fly for any Alaska - fishing for rainbows, chinook, coho or sockeye. This fly is also a great coastal winter steelhead fly, particularly in small streams.
Good Alaska Rainbows, Sea Run Cutthroat Trout, and Dolly Varden, Bull Trout, Pink Salmon and summer Steelhead Leech Pattern as well. Size: 2- 2.5 inches, number 2 SSW Owner hook.  Caught by Dave Robinson

Greg's Kriller Constructed on the banks of the Kanektok River the killer krill, or Kriller, was designed for maximum castabilty as well as its flaring motion when swinging across hydraulic “fences” in the water column. With the weight of the dumbbell eyes at the back of the shank, the Kriller swings deep with more of a downward-diagonal profile than most traditional patterns. A devouring size for both chrome Chinook and Steelhead, having the eyes closer to the hook attracts some of the most aggressive eats you can find near tidewater!

Plenty of rivers have multiple species of both anadromous and resident fish at the same time. This makes for some amazing fishing, but also presents the issue of what pattern is the best pattern to use that has the greatest chance of a grab across all species. RIO's Make It Rainbow is that fly. This fly is a virtual steelhead magnet, while also grabbing the attention of large brown trout and rainbow trout at the same time. Got bull trout in the stream? Try the white, which we promise they can’t resist. Three in stock. Also See: White Mini Intruder Leech (Click Here)

Same as the Woolly Bugger but with an enticingly colored tungsten beadhead for added weight and attraction. Swing it, strip it - WORKS. The hot head bead can act as an egg-sucking leech imitation if there are fish spawning somewhere in the watershed. In low water conditions of summer and early fall fish can be somewhat skittish. That’s where this fly excels, as it can be fished in any water flow and clarity! Size: 12

The Carey Special needs no introduction. Fish it as a general attractor streamer near weeds or use it as a Caddis Pupa pattern up in BC when fishing the traveling sedge hatch. This pattern is traditionally a lake anglers staple, representing many things from damsel and dragonfly nymphs, to leeches, minnows and large mayfly nymphs. In recent times it has become one of the most effective large soft hackle patterns for swinging in rivers, where trout absolutely slam it. Size: 6

RIO’s Pip Squeak Mouse is designed to look and perform like a real swimming mouse. The flesh colored legs kick under tension and simulate the frantic mouse moving through the water. The flesh colored ears give the angler a better visual as the fly tracks through the run. The bunny collar provides the right amount of “wet mouse” look without adding additional water weight. It also replicates the white chin that are on most mice. The ample foam keeps this mouse up on top churning out a realistic wake. The wire stinger material means you can also fish this for your favorite toothy fish, like Pike, and since this is tied with a #4 stinger hook, you’ll hook more of those short striking fish. Whether you’re chasing trophy Rainbows in Kamchatka or Alaska...or running night ops for big browns in your favorite local stream, RIO’s Pip Squeak Mouse will improve your chances of making the connection. 3” long.

With many years of intense searching for these anadromous business partners, I have found tying my skaters on a 60° hook has had the most success. The fly skates, pops and gurgles, making it hard for fish to resist. The Hanger is easy to cast and will pop well due to the tail end of the fly being weighed down by the hook. This keeps the legs down and the foam up for that iconic pop. Greatest of all are most of the fish hooked on the 60° jig hook are landed. Black and blue for those early morning dawn patrols and over cast days, orange for bright fish, and white for that 12 O’clock lunch fish when everyone’s taking a nap.

The Woolly Bugger is the most recognizable, and likely the most commonly fished streamer fly ever tied. The woolly bugger attracts fish in fast or slow water, rivers, ponds, and lakes, in dirty water or spring creeks. It imitates crayfish, minnows, sculpin, leeches, and many other natural foods trout love.
White Woolly Buggers represents bait fish, minnows, shiners, so they're great for meat eatting Trout like Browns, Bull Trout, Big Rainbow Trout, Great lakes Steelhead, Bass, Pike, Tierra Del Fuego... I tie this bugger with long white soft Schlappen hackle - good movement in the water and fills in for the body of a minnow.

A Grablies original - a cross between a Bugger Leech and a Montana Nymph. I like to swing flies - always have. Even when I trout fish, I would swing nymphs and or do a full swing with a mend when the fly was a cross from me. When I was Twelve I read "The Trout Fisherman's Bible, by Ray Bergman" I practiced the full drift, long before indicators (which I don't use). What I'm getting at - fishing this fly. It is a nymph over half of the drift, and then when I mend and it swings it is a Bugger then. This fly is good for Steelhead and large Trout. Great lakes Steelhead, and Browns, Pacific Northwest Steelhead, BC Steelhead, and Tierra del Fuego...

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well.
