My most productive fly for the large fall lake run trout in Montana is this simple wet fly, which uses pearl SLF prism fibers for the body, over wrapped with heavy copper wire, a few strands of pearl crystal flash on top, and several wraps of Hungarian partridge at the head. I bet it would also work for Great Lakes steelhead too.
( I may have posted this fly here before.)
A well known and respected fly fisherman and fly tier, Byron Haugh, who’s on another forum that I’m a member of, also uses Hungarian Partridge on what he claims is his most successful wet fly pattern.
I like Byron’s use of Antron Dubbing (sparkle yarn, or Dazzleaire) on his fly. Gary LaFontaine was also a believer in using Antron. I also believe that the SLF prism fibers on my wet fly may act in a similar way as Antron in trapping air bubbles and reflecting light.
I’ve been fooling around at my vice today, and used Byron Haugh’s basic wet fly design, but changed the materials a bit. Maybe these will work around here come next spring.
