Sweet Steelhead and Chinook flies

A good friend of ours Stuart Foxall Is an excellent tier, and when at home in the UK he ties like mad until its time for Steelhead and Spring season here. Big Chartreause and Blue work well for the Chinook, and smaller Purple, Blue Black and Pink are great for the ocean fresh Steelhead here. All the flies seen here were tied on tubes and regular style Steelhead hooks.

Sailfish on the Fly

Here is some video some friends shot on a December trip to a new Sailfish destination. Looks like fun, I want to go there one day.The Sailfish are teased up with plastic squid and then the anglers fly cast with large flies like poppers and baitfish imitations for the Sailfish which appear to really like, or dislike these flies. This is supposed to be pretty fun cause the whole thing takes place in sight right at the stern of the boat.I don't know cause I haven't done it yet but the guys seem to be having a good time from what I can tell on the videos.
