Fishtailing Mitt, Fish Tailing Glove. Ready to strap onto your wading belt, waist pack... Comes with two snap clamps, Super-strong elastic coil that stretches out 32 inches.Mitt stays open for easy entry when fighting your fish. You can watch my videos and see this is what Grabflies has been using for years. Size Large, Color: Camo Made with mesh that is knot-less as to not scrape or hurt the Steelhead or Salmon. Much better that losing your grip and losing the fish, or have the wild Steelhead or Salmon bang itself on the rock. Also you can control the fish while getting it ready for release. A fish on it's side is in rest state in the water. A Steelhead back side up is going to swim away. With the Fish Mitt you can move a fish from it's side to back side up and reverse if it is fighting you and trying to get away. This allows you quickly to get your camera and get your hero shot. For me the clock is racing when handling wild fish - every second counts. Get your hook out and take your photo and back in the water - 30 seconds is a good turn around.
I use a GoPro, so the camera is shooting video and 30 frames a second. The camera is on already. You can also do photo bursts - a bunch of photos at once. - Jeff Layton Also see Grabflies Fish Taling Mitt (Click Here)

Senyo's GL Predator Scandi: Greg Senyo likes to blend traditional Atlantic salmon and steelhead tying techniques with modern synthetic materials, and he has done that with the Predator Scandi series. Tied on a 25mm Senyo shank and using the Senyo Predator Wrap, this fly sparkles in the water. As with all of Greg's patterns, the Gamakatsu hook is attached point down. Nice Steelhead Fly!

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.

Heavy cone and bright flash, this baby works for steelhead and salmon.
Here's a new one for us that promises to be a silver, pink and chum salmon killer... not to mention a good, bright steelhead pattern. The conehead on the Chrome Magnet get it deep fast and then the generous proportions of Flashabou kick in and throw lots of flash and movement. This is a no brainer for your trip to Alaska for salmon.

A little "Intruder" style fly, easy to cast, a nice little mid strata searching pattern. This is a caster's dream. It is sparse, light, and casts like a rocket. It has a TINY set of eyes on it that gives it just enough weight to get down a bit when desired but isn't a chore to cast.

Great Fly for the bright sun 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.

Grizzly Fibre is a barred synthetic winging material that is great for steelhead flies, salmon flies, trout streamers and of course saltwater patterns. It's a "light" material in the sense that it doesn't bulk up and will not hold water. Grizzly Fibre is a perfect winging material for so many flies! Girzzly Fibre is a no holds "barred" wispy winging material that we are finding all kinds of ways to accent our flies.

Leader Tip Tote by Grabflies.com Flexible plastic spools that opens and closes to wind/wrap and store your spey leader tips. It is a leader wallet that keeps your leader tips tangle free. You wind on and off. No tangles, and easy to label with a permanent ink pen. "I have been using these for years, and my friends keep asking for them. Well here they are. I was tired of my tips always getting tangled when I'm on the water. These are plastic so no worries if they get wet. If you look close at the photo you'll see a swivel. I have been adding these to my sink tips for years also. Sometimes with braided loop, and sometimes I manage to get the swivel eye through the loop of the tip. This does two things. 1. Makes it easy to replace your tippet. 2. Allows your fly and tippet to straighten when casting. This keeps tangles down and extends the life of your tippet."

Custom Two Density 10 Foot Tip with Swivel by Grabflies | Taking Sink Tips to a whole new level!
- Helps eliminate twists and fly tangles when you Spey cast, and swing flies.
- Allows your fly to swim better on the swing
- Make it easy to tie on tippets - just tie tippet onto swivel using improved clinch knot or Trilene knot.
- Like an iMow tip or other popular multiple density sinking tips but with a swivel.
- Casts better than a single density tip - weight forward sink tip.
Using a full 10 foot tip with swivel gives you a smoother transition and cast. Made using the best swivel with a 75 lb breaking strength. Similar to Rio's very popular iMow Skagit Tips , but with different density leader material. No i = intermediate, starts with T-8, T-11, T-14 and then select a heavier sink tip with swivel portion to complete your ten foot tip. Comes wrapped on Tip Tote (See Tip Tote) The tip weights are color-coded for easy identification. T-8 is dark red, T-11 dark green, T-14 dark blue, T-17 dark gray and T-20 is black. The tip size indicates the weight per foot, so for example "T-8" weighs 8 grains per foot, and "T-14" weighs 14 grains per foot. The sink rate of each tip is as follows, with their relevant breaking strength in parenthesis):
T-8 = 6-7 ips (20lb) T-11 = 7-8 ips (20lb) T-14 = 8-9 ips (30lb) T-17 = 9-10 ips (30lb) T-20 = 10+ ips (30lb) Sizes: See Below under options Also See: Fly Line Tip Swivel | 12 - 24 inch Tip Swivel| | Custom 10 Foot Tip with Swivel | Two Loop Custom Tips

There are two kinds of fly boxes. One that you carry a bunch of flies in - pack or boat box, and two, one you carry with you when you're fishing, either in your jacket, pocket, or waders. This is the later - a small, light, thin box I carry with me when I swing flies for Steelhead. I use this box in the summer or for my smaller flies. Holds five flies (can be more) up to three inches in length (max 3 inches).
Comes in two variations:
1. As is - no tubes
2. With tubes to protect fly fibers and flash from being crimped when closing.
Actual Size: 150 X 85 X 25 millimeters (6 x 3.3 x 1 inches) See box with tubes (click here)

The Chromewrecker was originally developed by Lucas Meeker as a large-profile, un-weighted pattern for targeting big water Steelhead in the lower flows of late summer and fall. Fishing big flies un-weighted with a heavier sink tip allows the fly to keep the large profile of a big weighted winter fly, but stay up in the column to snag less in broader and more consistent gradient runs. Many big steelhead flies sink slowly, especially un-weighted, but the Chromewrecker is tied with sparse materials that don't slow the sinkrate. As the pattern evolved over three years, Luke added weighted variants and colorways targeting winter Steelhead and Chinook. Another central idea in this pattern is to use multiple shades of colors and contrasting points to build blended colors and markings that more closely resemble how colors blend and fade in nature (even when the color is bright!)... like the blended markings on the flank of a bright chrome Steelhead.
