Status: offline 		Ive never had much luck with them. which do you prefer bead heads or non beadheads?  how would you fish them tandems or alone? this is bout the only fly Ive had no luck with. Ive tied a ton but only time Ive lost them was either in the trees or under rocks never to a fish.

I usually tie mine in 12-14's with a bead on them.

I have done them in red and done well, also in an olive green, hell I am sure any color will work, I have seen some many different color of caddis from creek to creek.....

Has anyone ever done well with them for steelies?

You know a patriot dry fly with a green weenie dropper is a great producer of heavy browns.  At least that's what Charlie Meck told me.
