Stu Foxall's latest creation is a tube fly utilizing the Pro Sportfisher Ultra Sonic Cones. These cones are made of brass and are slotted. The Ultra Sonic Cone adds some weight to the fly, but is still very easy to lift out of the water due to the venting holes, while maintaining the capability to create a vortex behind the disc, allowing soft materials to swim freely instead of collapsing in hard current.

Very nice tie up. Make sure you take a long some of these on your next Steelhead fishing trip.

A very popular shank fly that is very effective for Steelhead, and all five Pacific Salmon, Char, Sea-Run Browns as well as Atlantic Salmon. 3" long overall, unweighted and perfect for swinging in low, clear water.

Jeff Hickman designed the Fish Taco Spey fly specifically for Steelhead and Salmon. When Jeff Hickman gets hungry he thinks of one of his favorite things to eat - fish tacos.

Purple is a great color for early morning and late evenings.

The Cyclops Leech is designed to get down and keep a profile while moving like a snake. With the 7/32" tungsten bead, this fly will break through the toughest of currents. Rigged with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.

Nice fly, swims with lots of movement.

Custom tied Trout Spey Soft Hackles by Grabflies. These soft hackle flies swing great and can be easily cast with a trout spey rod or single hand rod. They swing great but also work in still water lakes.

Flies are tied on high quality Ahrex Nordic Salt Water Streamer hooks #6. Small flies but hooks strong enough to land a twenty pound fish.

Species: Trout, Steelhead, Walleye, Bass...

Five patterns to choose from - see photos and select below.

Senyo's OCD is a great fly in low water conditions because it's unweighted and 3 1/2 inches long. Tied using Senyo's articulated shank, ostrich, and Angel Hair, for a fly that swims well in the water. Shank length: 25mm.

Size 2 Intruder hook.

Very nice tie up by Aqua Flies.

These new wide-profile cones create a turbo vortex at the front of a tube fly. The turbo cone gives the fly a unique swimming action. The action combined with the soft materials, which pulsate to mimic breathing, produces a fly that drives fish crazy. Whether fishing in the slowest or hardest of currents, the fly will move and pulsate like no other pattern. In addition to the unique movements, the turbo cone also provides a little bit of weight to help get the fly down. Our Turbo Cone Tube Flies are tied on a 1.25-inch tube with a 10mm turbo cone.

Comes with Size 2 trailing hook.

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.

The combination of rabbit fur which has incredible life in the water and flashabou creates an illuminated attraction for fish. A real winner!

Two Toned Flash Moal Leech - Flashabou and rabbit wrapped around a string go together. Moal Leeches have great movement in the water. They wiggle and undulate, which moves the flashabou in wave like motion reflecting colorful light waves as the fly swings across the river. Two Toned (color) Flash Moals have two different colors of flashabou tied in. The tail color is tied in after half the fly is wrapped with rabbit. The head flashabou is tied with a length of 2/3's the fly length. This works much better that two colors of flashabou tied in together at the cone.

Swing this fly, Nymph this leech - it works for Steelhead, Trout, Bass, and Walleye.

A good Summer Steelhead Fly, Fall Cutthroat.

The Yuk Bug can be used fly fishing for everything from trout (Searun Brown Trout in Tierra Del Fuego) smallmouth bass and steelhead. This big buggy looking nymph has lots of action and imitates a lot of different fish foods including stonefly. Size: Small #6

If you had to pick one fly to fish for Steelhead with it should be a Moal Leech.

This fly was tweaked from "Evo Mini" with the addition of the egg fireball and a few other changes.

 EVO Fireball Bug a great all season Steelhead fly. This fly can be casted easily.

I designed EVO so it can be fished with either a Skagit or Scandi line. I use a lot of the same proven color patterns that I know work but every fly pattern has it own silhouette, movement, sinkability rate, and castability.

Materials:

Hartwick's Hoser Tube presents a giant, flowing profile in the water. Weight has been added in the form of a tungsten cone. Not only does this cone add weight, but it is tied in reverse so it creates a solid bump where the marabou is tied in. The marabou will not collapse and the profle remains, even in the fastest water.

When the salmon are spawning trout and steelhead are happy to scoop up loose eggs that tumble down the river.  Try this painted lead eye egg imitation  to help your offering get into the zone.

Size: 6

This fly is now tied in a classic tie up, and has been a super effective Steelhead fly. It first started as the Improved Methow Moal, and then evolved into Skagit Methow Leech (which has the record for catching 20 lb Steelhead).

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.

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.
