Hartwick's Marabou Tube Flies are tied on a 1" plastic tube. Utilizing marabou, Angel Hair, and an ostrich wing, these flies have a lot of movement. They are lightweight and easy to cast. Ring eye hook included.

A custom design by Grabflies. Design idea came from combining the famous Skagit Minnow with the new Intruder style trailing hook. This fly has lots of action in the water with a large profile.

This Neo Skagit Leech is a smaller version of the original Skagit Leech. It is tied with a hidden .25" nickle bead. The hidden bead helps prop up the Marabou which has stiff Guinea and Prop Hackle in front of it. The fly swims different, and snags less as the bead will not snag on rocks.

This color pattern is very good for:

• Clear Water
• Bright Middle Day Conditions
• Flesh Fly Imitation
• Steelhead
• Bull Trout - Dolly Varden
• All Seasons

Size: 2.5 - 3 inches| Size 1 Owner hook

Fly is tied and glued in every step of it's construction - tied to last.

The Quigley's Dragon Gurgler - Made to spit water

The Dragon Gurgler wake fly was originally devised by Mr. Bob Quigley.
This the Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler in a Fishmadman tube version – A wake fly with an attitude.
Designed to spit water and to be fished with a stop and go motion. The tube will take a variety of
different hooks and hook settings.

Fish your Dragon Gurgler with the hook up-side-down

Some steelhead anglers prefer to fish the hook upside-down on their Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler –
and to do so in an easy and smart way you may use a so-called egg hook or up-eye hook – as
seen fitted on the fly in the image. The up-eye hook will enable you to get a different angle on the
hook and the low-memory medium soft tubing the Gurglers is tied on, is well suited to
accommodate such a fly fishing method.

This a 50 – 45-millimeter version… or medium – Equivalent to a fly tied on a # 2 – 4hook.

Comes with hook.

Two ways to rig this fly:

1. Riffling hitch system - see image above

2. Tie on like regular tube fly - leader down tube, and tie on hook. Push hook up into tube. 

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.

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.

Comes with hook.

Senyo's Aqua Scandi: With a marabou wing and incorporating the new Aqua Veil, this fly has a similar profile to the Predator Scandi, but a touch smaller. Rigged with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.

Tied on a 25mm Senyo shank

Nice Steelhead Fly!

A very good skating and popular pattern for fishing for  Steelhead on the surface.

Good October Caddisfly imitation.

The Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a searching style attractor baitfish pattern. Due to its synthetic build, this fly pattern is extremely durable, lightweight, and provides a serious amount of movement while it swims. The A.I. holds a great profile, retains its shimmer and translucency, and is the perfect option to combat changing water conditions. A proven pattern across the Great Lakes Region to Canadian/Alaskan waters and the West Coast.

This fly has lots of movement for Steelhead.

The Sputnik Tube Intruder is a blend of traditional Intruder styling and European highlights. A fusion of natural and synthetic materials; Finn Raccoon, Arctic Fox, Ostrich, Predator Wrap and Marabou add to this flies swimming action. The Finn Raccoon wing is reminiscent of Scandi styles. Two stations similar to Intruders. A collar weight behind the front station helps to get the fly down. The Sputnik has great movement and a profile in the water that is irresistible to fish.

A Moal Leech as good as it gets. Tied with hook holder to help prevent hook fouling, and natural Micro Barred Voodoo Fibers for legs.

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.

Custom Moal Leeches are tied by Grabflies.com in the good old USA. Moal's are tied using the best materials on the market and are tied to last (super glue, Berkley Fireline Braid 20 LB (double over for 40 LB strength) and, quality Owner size 2 hook.

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.

The original Intruder designed by Jerry French and tied by Aqua Flies!

The birth of the Intruder was in the Pacific Northwest. It has gone through many evolutions and surely it will continue to evolve, but Jerry's Intruder as it is tied today is a fish catcher. Tied using composite loops, UV materials and a Gamakatsu trailer hook, confidence is high when using this fly. Jerry's Intruder is approximately 3" long. Single Station Intruder is about 2" in length.

Only ONE in stock

Using long flowing materials is one of the key Intruder features. The rhea is a small South American ostrich-like bird with long flowing feathers, and it's the perfect match for the Intruder. The use of rhea was popularized by Paul Miller a number of years ago.

Stu's Rhea Intruders are tied on 40mm shanks with 5/32-inch brass eyes. Stock flies come with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.

Great Steelhead Fly

Custom Tied by Grabflies.

Atlantic salmon flies usually don't cross over to become steelhead flies but when they do you know they are extra special.  This is one of those patterns.  This fly features a yellow butt.  the black body and mottled wing plus Kingfisher blue hackle give this a stark contrast to the brighter butt.  This can be fished as your primary searching pattern, or as your follow-up pattern if you miss a fish and want to come back with something smaller and darker.

Size # 4

Black and copper has proven to be an amazing color combo for steelhead, and this fly is the perfect combination of both.

Nice fly, swims with lots of movement.

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.

Size # 6

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.

A Black, Purple, Pink, Moal Supreme Leech is as good as it gets. Tied with hook holder to help prevent hook fouling, and natural Micro Barred Voodoo Fibers for legs.

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.

Custom Moal Leeches are tied by Grabflies.com in the good old USA. Moal's are tied using the best materials on the market and are tied to last (super glue, Braid Line 20 LB (double over for 40 LB strength) and, quality Owner size 1 hook.

Mini Fish Tacos Tied on a FS SENYOS ARTICULATED SHANK 25MM BLACK

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.

The Fish Taco was designed to be un-weighted and easy to cast with lots of movement.

Like Fish Tacos - a favorite dish for hungry fly fishermen, and every cook has their own recipe. Grabflies has its recipe and custom ties these Fish Tacos by hand in Washougal, Washington.

Grabflies likes to tie Fish Tacos that are spicy and hot, and full and juicy. These Fish Tacos are delicious offerings for Steelhead and Salmon.

There well have been more summer Steelhead caught on a Skunk, or Green Butted Skunk fly pattern that any other single pattern around. A must in every Steelhead Fly Fishermen's Fly box.

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.

Great for Bull Trout, Dolly Varden, Trout, Steelhead

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.

A proven summer Steelhead fly. Great on the Deschutes, and Clear Water rivers.
