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: 4

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 is by far one of the most popular lake fishing patterns in British Columbia. It is an exceptional trolling fly, and a great searching pattern. Swing this fly, Still water/lake fish this fly. It works. An attractor variation of the Carey Special. Size 6 hook Tied with Marabou Tail, and Pheasant Collar. The Carey Special traces its roots back to 1920 when Colonel Tom Carey and Dr. Lloyd Day collaborated on a pattern originally called the Monkey Faced Louise or Dredge. Their design featured a dense pheasant rump hackle and a dubbed fur body from a dead marmot Dr. Day had found on his drive to rendezvous with Colonel Carey for a fishing trip. Since this initial prototype, the Carey Special has undergone many mutations. Still, the fly’s core remains the same: a pheasant rump tail and hackle, coupled with a body using a variety of materials.
