buckysteel Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I was wondering if there are any experienced spey/flyfisherman who would have tips on fly selection for the great lakes sorelines and river mouths (targeting browns). I have currently been using an assortment of streamers with minimal success. Any tried tested and true patterns,colours...etc that anyone would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Marko Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I am no fly fisherman by any means but have you tried egg imitations for big browns? I know salmon and bows will hit them i don't see a reason why browns would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckysteel Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I use egg patterns frquently,but these fish are actively feeding on baitfish so I'm trying to use baitfish imitations plus I'm trying to cover lots of water. In a couple months the yarnies will be coming out for steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Fly fishing for browns lake side. Now there's something I'd like to see!! Have you tried alewife patterns? A lefty's deceiver tied in white materials on a 2/0 with a bit of herl for the collar is a great fly. Or maybe a clouser. I'd include pics but I'm out. This clouser looks fairly straightforward to tie. clouser Love to know your set-up though. Do you cast a shooting taper? Is a clear tip necessary?! cheers HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
