Favorite Steelhead/Brown Fall/Winter Fly

[jwatts]

Just wonderin whats everyone favorite fly to use for steelies and brown in the fall winter months?? Winter's a great time to tie..

Probably my most successful fly is a simple Estaz egg.

However, I prefer to tie and fish traditional wets and soft hackles.

Egg patterns.. Throw in few Stoneflie and some bead head caddis...

Last year I caught more Steel on the Prince Nymph than eggs patterns. Low and clear conditions mahe it tuff and small flies worked best for me.

Chartreuse sucker spawn, and blue (with and without red dots) glo bugs have been dynamite for myself this year. Also, I like black woolybuggers, as well as prince nymphs.

Salmon river glo bugs estaz eggs (cough trout beads) stone flies for winter. Erie is just the other way around for me pheasant tails caddis first small eggs second. Plus Erie steelhead love pink. And ok ill admit it a dead drifted berkley pink power work is friggin deadly im sorry guys I like to catch fish.I know its not right but its so productive.

I stand corrected! Apparently, both are acceptable!

Como se dice "jackass"?

So it seems eggs are the best bet for the steelies and browns. Ill have to start tying up a bunch. Thanks again everyone
