Terry Beeson Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Have any of you seen these? The guys from Canada swear they are killer on Steelhead... The body is Poly Flash...

Don Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I googled those up about a year ago or so when I downloaded another steelhead fly, the sucker spawn. It's tied in a similar fashion using the pinch on method. I use sparkle braid for my sucker spawns. I tie the similar pattern with egg foo yarn. Egg yarn is too bulky to make many loops on top the hook so you can only make 2 or 3. It is the fly I call Eggs Bodacious that I sent in the last fly swap. Don The link below shows sucker spawn. The website has crystal meth. http://www.fishusa.com/FishErie/Flies_One.asp Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
Randall Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 crystal meth... gotta love the names of some of these bugs. Cute animals taste better.
Micheal Kyle Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Yes and I know where you can buy them, I had a few given to me by the owner of the company and I took them down to my favorite Steelhead river, Taneycomo.(LOL). I caught quite a few fish I think that it was because they had never seen this befor. Very easy fly to tie. To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
Members kitgebhardt Posted July 18, 2007 Members Posted July 18, 2007 The Meth is my go to fly for Steelhead and Salmon, period. It will not work on Taney trout, though. I wouldn't even try it...
Greg Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 The Meth is my go to fly for Steelhead and Salmon, period. It will not work on Taney trout, though. I wouldn't even try it... You're kidding right??? I think just about any fly will work on Taney trout given the right conditions. Or almost any trout stream for that matter. Granted some flies work better than others - but they ALL work.

Members kitgebhardt Posted July 18, 2007 Members Posted July 18, 2007 Nope, they refuse to bite this fly.
trout fanatic Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 We fish the lake erie tribs every winter for steelies, and this fly is one of our staples. This and the sucker spawn really kill them in the late winter early spring
Zach Bearden Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Nope, they refuse to bite this fly. I must disagree on the subject and agree with Greg. Even on my river in the middle of the stream in a stillwater area ive caught quite a few fish. I personally think it kinda looks like a bit of powerbait, and thats the main food source on our river, lol! Tell me why do you say that it wont work? Terry I heard about this fly in Fly Fishermans article "6 easy eggs" they had quite a few. Very well written article and verfy informative. "Its clearly Bree time baby!"

Members kitgebhardt Posted July 19, 2007 Members Posted July 19, 2007 I am just kidding around. This fly will catch fish just as any egg pattern will when the time is right.
