B.H. Lightning Bug, Gold - A variation on the silver that is particularly effective on the
Rogue River.
Rubber Legs, Black & Copper - A heavily weighted pattern that is more lobbed than
cast (even with spinning gear) and bounced along the bottom of deep holes. The copper
gives flash to attract attention in the darkest of waters. It is a staple for steelheaders
on the Upper Rogue.
Rogue Nymph,
Golden Brown - A generic nymph
shape that is constructed with Ice Dubbing to provide flash. Popular on the Rogue and it
is gaining popularity on the Trinity also.
Rogue Nymph, UV Black - The black silouette gives contrast in dirty water but the UV
highlights add something extra.
Rogue Nymph, Peacock - Generic nymph shape that is constructed with peacock Ice Dubbing to provide
flash. Popular on the Rogue it is gaining popularity on the Trinity also.
B.H. Golden Stone - A rubber legged nymph that imitated a golden stone fly.
B.H. Stone Fly Black - A good choice on the Rogue or Klamath where there are large black
"Salmon Fly " nymphs.
Crystal
Fry - 60 to 90 days after the
salmon have spawned the trout and steelhead will be on the alevins at dinner time. Fish
this as a nymph, dead drift. Alevins are not good swimmers. The riffles below spawning
redds is a prime place to try these.
Sheep
Creek Special - This pattern is a stillwater damsel pattern for high
desert lakes. It is here because there are a few anglers on the lower Klamath who
swear by this as a swing fly. I have tried it and it does work well. This is a
unique fly that your buddy will not have in his box.
