Best Fly Tying Book This Season

NOW IN!

 Over the past 7 years, Greg Senyo developed an overwhelming customer base through his company Steelhead Alley Outfitters; the demand for many of his patterns has surpassed the supply. Because of this, he has generously written a step-by-step how-to guide to tying your own flies. Modern Steelhead and Salmon Flies will highlight 35 of the author’s signature and proven steelhead flies used across the Great Lakes, Pacific North West, Canada, Alaska – also Atlantic salmon and Lake Run Browns, tapping into and keeping up with today’s current and growing synthetic material market. Each fly design will be a visual and simulating guide through high resolution and complete step-by-step photography. 

 Teaches you how to work with synthetic materials that include the use of shanks, heavy wire, fish skulls and fish Masks, synthetic hackles and hair, new age flash, while also incorporating beads/metal components, forming and using new epoxy techniques, Copic air brushing and dying techniques, and a host of signature synthetic fibers and dubbings. With these new skills, the potential and creative possibilities of each fly-tying project will be greatly increased, while still maintaining traditional fly-tying disciplines. Full Color; 8.5x11 inches, 344 pgs.

Steelhead Flies with Brent Piche’

Intruder Feathers Here! Finally!

All good things come to those who wait!

Now we can all tie Intruders again

Fly Tying Binge!

Usually, I come home from a trip and do a bunch of fly tying to re-stock and tie stuff I thought of while fishing.

Last year I was very cavalier about doing that after fall steelheading.

This year I've been a little more focused........

Pinks! for upcoming winter and spring trips.



There's a Haida Gwai fish just waiting for this!




Re-stocking the Babine supply.



The new Senyo's wire and shanks for articulated flies both work very well.
The wire is the stiffest stuff I've found, and it cant be cut on a fish.

Ramblings........
