"GRAND RIVER SPECIAL"
Hook: Daiichi 1530 sz 10
Thread: 8/0 uni thread black
Bead: 5/32 copper
Tail: Black Goose Biots
Body: Black Ice Dub
Wing Case: Pheasant tail
Rib: extra small copper wire
Thorax: Chartreuse Ice dub
1: Tie in Goose biots for tail, tie in wire and pheasant tail.
2: Dub Body(wax may help), tie down wing case and rib forward. Tie off rib
and add goose biots on either side of fly.
3: Chartuese Ice dub for thorax and whip finish.(Steelie Blue
and Orange can be substituted for thorax giving you three fishable flies)
The Original Phsyco Prince. Golden stone biots, Orange ice dub for body
and UV Brown for body. Copper Bead.
Notes: This fly is basically a Psycho Prince but with a copper bead and tied in colors better suited for steelhead alley. A very good clear water color combo is UV tan ice dub body with UV pink ice dub thorax tied on a size 12 Daiichi 1530.
This is a great fish catcher and i like it because i can tie the same pattern in different sizes and colors to match the ever changing conditions on our tribs.
Good Luck

Lets start with an easy to tie fish catcher that has produced many Steelhead
over the seasons on our local streams. This fly fishes best in stained water when fish need a little flash and movement to get their attention. Fish as a point fly with nymph below.
"HIGH WATER WORM"
Hook: Daiichi 1120 sz 8-10
thread: Uni-thread 8/0 or Ultra thread 70 (orange or red)
Body: Ultra Chenille (standard) fl. chart
Head: Amber Orange Estaz
1. Lay down thread base and tie in Chenille in rear of hook
just above the bend.
2. Tie down chenille on top of hook with 4-5 forward wraps
of thread, tie off, leaving enough room for 3 wraps of estaz.
3. Tie in estaz
4. 3 forward wraps of estaz, whip finish, lightly burn end of chenille with
lighter to keep from unraveling.
5. Go catch steelhead
Shown above are a few colors (but not all) we fish them in, including pink/white, chart/orange, and brown/chart,
