Steelhead!!!!
up here in ontario i use a lot of purple and black wooly buggers as well as egg sucking leaches. Eggs of course, comets, blue thunder, wooly worms, pink san juan worms (fly tiers substitute for berkly pinkies) also fuzzy wuzzy's work good to. Here is a good site for fly tying. This has a ton of steely flies in the data base. http://www.flytyingforum.com/

Fly tying anyone?
Here are a few pictures of some of the many flies I have been tying. I started fly tying about 2 months ago and I love it. I mainly tie flies used for steel head and salmon but i have made a few bass flies. Feel free to post pics of your own stuff too Blue Thunder. Comet. Egg Sucking leech. Pom Pom egg. Some Bass flies that imitate plastic worms.

trout rods
if u really want to have some fun, and want to try something new, get yourself a nice 9' 5wt fly rod. There a blast to catch rainbows on. Nothing like a beautiful rainbow slurping up a dry fly from the surface.

Need help with what to use on our trip
Me my dad and my buddy are going up to our cottage November 18 and I was wondering what sorta things the bass will be doing around this time and what I should use. I have never been bass fishing this late in the season so I am hoping for your guys help. Our Cottage is 2 hours NE of Toronto so its gonna be cold. If were lucky we might get midday air temps of a max of 5 degrees Celsius. HELP?!?!?!!?!?!??!??

what do u guys think???
I have been looking for a new steelhead/chinny rod for next season, and I have been looking at this one here http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp;jsessionid=GBTFPDKSVUUQ3LAQBBKCCNNMCAEFKIWE?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20431-cat20433-cat20457_TGP&id=0029781317998a&navCount=92&podId=0029781&parentId=cat20457&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IH&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20457&hasJS=true&_requestid=182721 The one in the 9' 8wt. 2pcs I was wondering if any has used cabelas brand stuff (who makes their rods and reels n e ways?) or has any input on this rod and is there any real difference in 2pcs or 4pcs???

first salmon on the fly rod!!!
It is a Chinook Salmon AKA King salmon u guys call it down there it is almost in full spawning colours
-
first salmon on the fly rod!!!
well if u have a fly reel with nice drag than i would recommend reeling it in by using the reel. a lot of newer high capacity fly reels have large arbors that allows you to reel in more line per turn umm if you hook into a salmon it will thrash and do crazy runs ... just let it do its thing when u first hook it ... it will snap your leader like nothing if u have your line to tight after it slows down then start to pump it in or what not

Bending the barb
i really don't see a point to bending down barbs when fishing for bass... there mouth is tough and they can handle it but when it comes to rainbow trout fly fishing in creeks then thats another story... their mouth can be damaged from barbs sometimes.

Merrymeeting River - Salmon
well check your local tackle stores and they might have them some times they come in the same little jars pork rind baits come in just ask someone there if all else fails catch a female with one of your flies and see if you can squeeze some eggs out ... if u cant and your willing to eat the salmon... you can take the eggs out when u fillet it.

Merrymeeting River - Salmon
we catch a fair bit on flies such as eggsucking leeches, egg patterns, and wooly worms and wooly buggers. Also u might want to try a spawn sack.

pier fishing for kings
Guys here in lake ontario cast a lot of spoons and J14 Jointed rapalas. I would recommend Williams Wablers A lot of people use spawn in the creek near my house. I personally fly fish for them.... there loads of fun. I caught my first Chinny (what we call kings up here) this season on the fly rod a few weeks ago... 20lbs .... Im gonna post pics as soon as there developed.
