Steelhead Guides' Favorite Flies
Where do new fly patterns come from? In the steelhead fly fishing arena, the best new "fish-catching-patterns" come from the most successful fly fishing guides.  It is only reasonable; fish-on-the-beach bring customers back.  In the overwhelming majority of guided steelhead trips, the guide selects the flies to be used. It is one of the ways they can stack the deck in your favor.  The most popular steelhead and salmon guides are always experimenting with new flies in search of the magic bullet.  This directory will take you to the best magic bullets available.

Many of these guides listed above have worked extensively in Alaska and British Columbia.  Many of the flies listed in this directory are also very effective for Alaskan Kings, Pacific Northwest Chinooks, Dolly Varden, Arctic Char and Bull Trout.  It appears that many steelhead flies used in both winter and summer are getting larger, with leeches, tube flies, stinger flies and intruder type flies being in vogue.
