When Nymphing During Salmon Fly Hatch

[Chromaflage]

In the past, there have been times when I'd run a nymph through some water on the Big D during the salmon fly hatch, using the poly yarn strike indicators. I've had fish hit the strike indicators many time. So, last year I decided to tie up some indicators in a pseudo-salmon fly pattern on a hook. Here's what it looks like. It might be interesting hooking a fish on this thing. :bigshock:

Thats nice many time on the crooked I have had fly’s crab the indicator I was thinking of doing something along them lines thanks for the Idea. Rp

That is a good technique anytime. There is a foam salmon fly imitation featured in the Spring issue of Flyfishing and Tying Journal that would also work.

When the caddis are hatching I like to tie an unweighted emerger pattern underneath an Elk Hair caddis.

I even had a winter steelhead chase a strike indicator this year.

happens to me on the Big D every year when i'm fishing for steelhead. unfortunately i always set the hook thinking i'm using a dry. (yes i am a very jumpy person) :redface: :shrug: :hoboy:
