whats missing

Okay, I got these to finally upload.  This is what I got tied for fall steelhead.  I haven't tied since highschool in 92.  But, I have been having alot of fun with it lately.  Just wondering what you guys think I might be missing?  Oh and yes I did trim the flo green jigs!

You wearin nail polish Bubb?

I see the Crystal Meth and the Egg Patterns and Stones, but those little rubber single eggs, I always gotta have them. I know its not technically tying but I never try to get too technical, at least when I'm not at work.

I have those little rubber eggs.  I'm just trying to figure out best way to put them on shank?  Just hook threw egg?  I don't think that would stay put?

They make a little rubber egg that has a piece of yarn running through it. A little super glue on the yarn before you put it on the hook and a little more after you get it on the hook and your in business.

Looks like a good selection, man.

I'm tying up a PA steelhead assortment right now for another fisherman, and I'm trying to make sure I cover all the bases as well.

What's missing?

Sucker spawn, in hot pink and in chartreuse. Maybe some with flashy tails.

I would add some blue eggs and some smaller stone flies like in size 16 and 18 for the low and clear water. Depending on if you fish really early or not some other streamers for tossing out into the lake?

Also forgot to say you could add some easy caddis or euro nymph style nymphs.

Offset them so them main diameter of the egg does not interfere with your hook gap, add a drop of superglue and your done. You can even add some white yarn as milt to look like a fertilized egg.

I would add a few colors of crystal spawn(meth), & sucker spawn, I like green spawn,but you got most of them covered. You could add a few egg sucking leaches as well, San Juan worms work well sometimes too. 

And what would those look like????? mynEE foOze aNd KLeeoZ aR nOt flYz. mYnIfUze aRe jYgz and kLeEOZe ar sPuUnZ. tRusT mEE.   ??????????

I think we should have a "bare all" post and take pics of our boxs!!!    Who is in?  Scared too?  Come on....  Lets see what you got in there!  This thead might get long

Just google search the names of the patterns you dont know. If you dont find what you're looking for, add 'fly pattern' to your input. Because now you're asking for pictures, and as soon as you get those, you'll ask for materials and recipes, and after that you'll ask for tying instructions.

Why not just google the ones that interest you and pull up the patterns yourself? You can be fishing the things long before you'd have even gotten around to asking for the step-by-step here. Steelhead patterns, in general, are not at all difficult. Its mostly eggs and small nymphs, and buggers.

I dont have a "steelhead" fly box, per se, unless you count a box of eggs that only sees use from late Oct. to early March, but it gets a workout around here too. I can take pics at some point, but my camera takes a chitty macro shot.
