Favorite fly for steelhead

since I like dead drifting I would choose the mop and glow fly. This fly in particular seems very unnatural but it works. The standard color variations are perfect for a tandem rig. Not to mention they work in low and clear water. Mint and white work in low and clear. Easy tie. What's your favorite fly for steelhead?

Brad, either your very new to erie fishing.. or your blind.. this is, was and always will be put in - take out fishing... if you want a real perspective of steelhead go to the PNW and get woodies there over C&R

Oh for crying out loud...
what do you expect duud??
 
I've only been back for a little over a month, and every one of your threads and/or posts are whinnying, pi55ing and moaning .
This is a first one that wasn't ...That's GOOD!!!
Keep that up, and maybe you'll be accepted by the community  here (what's left of it)
 
You might even have something of VALUE to add ...which would be greatly appreciated .
But here's a hint......dogging, chastising and whining continually about something half the guys here do....e.g. kill and eat these foul tasting things..ain't gonna go over so well wit Da Boyz
 
I mentioned  before...grow a thicker skin , post what's on your mind  and dam the torpedoes.
If you want to pick a fight...
  ..pick an ole fashion  favorite ...like;
spin anglers are bait chucking Neanderthals that leave all the trash
or
pinners are hole hogging jerks
or
flyrodders are lining snagging snObs
 
don't whine about  killing fish ...it's stale and boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and don't make fun of chubby children ...it's mEEn
 
Make fun of Pittsburgh'ers ..it's more acceptable ,cause nobody likes them anyway ......
 
 
 
I hope you take my advise and not leave .
this site has been DEAD for years ..we need more/new  blood/more posts 
So toughen up Cupcake, drop your  anchor  and make your casts in the waters here .
Just don't expect every bite on the line will be the fish you're targeting 
 
 
..L.T.A.

old dog
the replies, meant to be good natured and a bit pointed, are mild compared to how they would be responded to even five years ago.  thick skin or the ability to laugh are a requirement here.  most often, remarks are meant to bring a laugh. just the opinion of a silver skulled, flatlander fatso.  lol

Light pink blood dot with a darker pink center...or Molotov cocktails at the falls made with the tears of a thousand snaggers, in a bottle stuffed with posted signs instead of rags.

LOL...yep
Hopefully, like then,  he reconsiders .
I'm reasonably sure he's a good duud  and not a troll
Just a little excitable maybe  ..and perhaps  new  to the rodeo circus  that is  the Pa steeltribs

I mostly spin fish because fly fisherman are line snagging snobs that lift fish and say they caught them.  But when I do fly fish my go to is a gray whooly with red thread.  Can probably catch more on egg patterns but I like the way they chase and crush a whooly.
 
Brad, this is the way almost every fishing forum is.  you just have to laugh and move on.  How can you take something so personal when you don't even really know the people.  And if you did then you would realize its not much different than when you are with your buddies busting each others balls
