It's snowing outside and I haven't been able to move properly after my buddy's wedding this weekend. I decided it was a good time to get behind the vice for a bit.
I probably wont be posting too many steelhead flies for a while, as I am gonna focus on trout and musky for a while, but I just had to show y'all what I will be wrapping up at my desk tonight. I am really diggin' on this pattern and look forward to seeing it in action next fall.
I have tried not to do any "gear review" posts on here, but with Christmas around the corner, I figured I would help you kiddos out. I know that every Christmas I go insane trying to figure out what to get people and my family always has trouble buying stuff for me. Every year I tell them, "just go to the fly shop and pick me up a bunch of junk", this always leaves me with hot pink threads and hemos. Every year I struggle on what to tell them, so they always end up getting me stuff that I already have or isn't very useful.
This year is different. After my friends at Clear Cure Goo sent me a starter kit of their products, I now know what to have my family get me. I have been tying bugs with this stuff all month and cant get enough of it, so I put my holiday order in for some of their additional products (i'm getting the brushable and hydro). It's way easier than epoxy and looks awesome.
A kit comes with: 1 LED Light. 1 Clear Cure Goo Thick Syringe 10ml 1 Clear Cure Goo Thin Syringe 10ml $49.99

So I am sitting here trying to come up with some inspiration for tying some new bugs and realized that some of you may not have checked out steelheadalleyflytying.blogspot.com . This is a group that has put together a blog of cool ass tutorials of some really cool patterns coming out of steelhead alley in the Great Lakes. Most of these patterns either work all over the country, or can at least be adapted to work on your waters. The patterns are tied by Greg Senyo and his friends. Check em' out!
