Steelheading: Week #14

Well as my last post revealed, the rivers have finally begun their mid winter lock up. They went from fishing the beginning of the week, to ice jams at the moment. Reports from the early week had many fish littered throughout the systems. Many of the guides and avid fishermen have been able to get multiple fish days nymphing. Afternoons swinging have been OK, but with the water temps so low, repeated drifts with eggs have been the best bet...

So with the icing, I've begun the mid winter clean-up, which blows...cleaning Christmas, redoing bathrooms...

And a guy trip to Chi-Town is on the plate for next weekend...

Anyways, here's a few creations from the bench...I can't give up on fishing for the whole weekend...

Egg Sucking Leach Style...

Compliments to Justin for showing us this quick tie. He's got a scouting expedition on the rivers tomorrow...hoping for something open...

Good Luck!!!
