| Marty Sheppard is one of the most talented and personable guides that works our local rivers. In the past, he has filled our counter book with client pictures holding winter steelhead. Even during periods of low, extremely clear water, and sparse numbers of fish, he seems to score. He says his secret, is the flies that he developed with his good friend Josh Linn, the Metal Detector series. Special materials make these flies glow from the inside out and give them a lot of enticing action. The goal of the Metal Detector series was to develop a big fly without all the materials that soak up water and make casting such a chore. Bucktail makes up much of the bulk of these flies and it does not absorb water to weigh it down during the cast. Bucktail is somewhat buoyant and has ton of action because it does not clump together while it fishes. The polar chenille body makes these flies translucent and once again it has very little water absorption, The collar is marabou and everyone knows Steelhead love the taste of marabou! Metal Detectors are stinger flies. A short shank, red Gamakatsu hook is trailed in the rear of the fly on a special cable attachment. There are few short strikes on Metal Detectors. | |
| Metal Detector Fly,
Blue and Black
These colors are proven for winter steelhead under any overcast weather conditions
and is especially effective for late winter fish. This color
combination is a consistent producer with good to fair water clarity and
is also a good choice when the river is off color.

| Metal Detector Fly,
Chartreuse and Black Spring Chinook love the color chartreuse and this fly was tied to fish for the returning Salmon. At the end of the season it did its job on the "springers", but the surprising result was how very effective it was on the fresh run of spring Steelhead! A must have color for April through June. |

| Metal Detector Fly,
Red and Orange This fly is proven in hooking steelhead in all weather conditions with good water clarity. Red & orange is extremely effective in bright sunlight. As with all "metal detectors" the polar chenille body makes all of these flies glow from the inside out, and with this one, it is electric! |
