Some of the classic patterns that are used around the world either was conjured up through our guides or close friends of the shop. Combine the classics with the diversity in presentation options today, fly patterns vary from small eggs and nymphs to tube and shank flies.</span><br style="text-align: center;" /></p><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">In this class we will warm up with basic egg and nymph pattern thoughts focusing on color theories for water conditions. Swinging flies will be the main focus of the class though. Shank and tube platforms will be covered. Each student will be provided with an </span><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">Aqua Tube Kit</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"> and other samples. This “Saturday Session” will jump start your journey into tying your own steelhead flies. Ryan Ratliff will share lessons learned over his many years fishing and guiding for steelhead.

So we are just calling this Sculpin #1. It is based on the Mike Lawson Wool Head Sculpin that we sold here in the shop for many years and was a staple. It is no longer available commercially so I had to figure out a way to tie it myself. Pretty similar, although my version of the fly rides hook up, where the original did not.</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I tie this fly in both olive and brown.

I came up with this pattern because I wanted a fly that would be easy and quick to tie, making it easier to load a lot of patterns into my box. </p><p>This fly showcases a big factor when targeting Rainbows/Steelhead... flash. The vinyl rib adds a bit of texture to the fly. I chose clear so the holographic tinsel shines right through making it an eye catcher for any fish that sees it. Holographic tinsel provide the tyer with a lot of different possible color combinations. This fly can be tied from bright colors to more earth tone colors depending on where you’re fishing. In addition, the TMC 2457 hooks are strong which is why this fly can handle the Steelhead we are targeting in the Great Lakes Region.</p><p>So, if you’re looking for a pattern to add into your box make sure this is one of them! </p><p><b>Step 1:</b> Put the bead onto the hook and secure it in your vise.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcz1bksonpk6aqgofMFithkfao3wtB8ojzLbbcvV5XSFdKuXojgHQ5O1lf5d3MoaIiPyy1IJSsO7yHJftktD8tOdEC6JGa9IZNWN8rsuja01R2BATWSnNN4oxJoZQYo3znvK9bfKC6amMx2ZxjqPQ5dhyphenhyphencvrO2_E1_P6WXlKLH2sty4AmxW0gdGFnbLJS/s1920/Step%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcz1bksonpk6aqgofMFithkfao3wtB8ojzLbbcvV5XSFdKuXojgHQ5O1lf5d3MoaIiPyy1IJSsO7yHJftktD8tOdEC6JGa9IZNWN8rsuja01R2BATWSnNN4oxJoZQYo3znvK9bfKC6amMx2ZxjqPQ5dhyphenhyphencvrO2_E1_P6WXlKLH2sty4AmxW0gdGFnbLJS/w640-h360/Step%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><b>Step 2: </b>Put a layer of thread down behind the bead making sure to wrap down to the back end of the barb.</p><p><b>Step 3:</b> Tie in a 3” piece of Vinyl Rib starting from behind the bead making wraps back.

Known for its abundant giant hybrid bluegill and other panfish, the lake was a perfect spot for Brian, who passionately shared his comprehensive collection of surface and subsurface panfish bugs, including some he tied himself. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc4YLh4-I1FIDiatf4mZ9RbnAeE158Fbpeiu-t6c1NPkagd7II1WCuOhkTpATo-gC4fdjclmClk-TUA_SbPrDbNOh0kGaqlnIxIO40WEMFdLookWtacSjtdVFuGl_YoJXA563zNv5bugDoo5O3qpWFGlcrz7WacDbSs6gJ3LNbR36rdQi1HYJbOrknVc/s1080/Untitled-1_0004_Brightness_Contrast%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1080" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc4YLh4-I1FIDiatf4mZ9RbnAeE158Fbpeiu-t6c1NPkagd7II1WCuOhkTpATo-gC4fdjclmClk-TUA_SbPrDbNOh0kGaqlnIxIO40WEMFdLookWtacSjtdVFuGl_YoJXA563zNv5bugDoo5O3qpWFGlcrz7WacDbSs6gJ3LNbR36rdQi1HYJbOrknVc/w640-h474/Untitled-1_0004_Brightness_Contrast%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-c36247b8-7fff-73cb-ee4a-a4d115489c54"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">These intricate lures, from rubber spiders to jig-style welding worms, showcased not only his dedication to the craft but also the excitement that comes with every cast and catch.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As the day progressed, the duo noticed that while the smaller fish gravitated towards the surface, the larger ones laid deeper in the water.

This rig, paired with specific flies and balanced with the perfect float, proved effective, especially when the fish laid deep.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5W3u7WU0peQ-kVto186KH9f5fsHEwt0axOJjxaFoBfwgpCl79DZiAk25WrkkZSwxofseJzuS8CQEuVKaAnMoErbySTsWFOW7TSEkwde_mua3HzAo7gLOL1mZokf09_XaflB00Z09pIIx8J4XC3bF9RaJuv4BpN_wHyhh87RkgJhqVkUQ_fxgiA374rF8/s1080/Untitled-1_0005_Brightness_Contrast%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1080" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5W3u7WU0peQ-kVto186KH9f5fsHEwt0axOJjxaFoBfwgpCl79DZiAk25WrkkZSwxofseJzuS8CQEuVKaAnMoErbySTsWFOW7TSEkwde_mua3HzAo7gLOL1mZokf09_XaflB00Z09pIIx8J4XC3bF9RaJuv4BpN_wHyhh87RkgJhqVkUQ_fxgiA374rF8/w640-h474/Untitled-1_0005_Brightness_Contrast%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Interestingly, this unique method isn't just about casting. It's more akin to "bobber fishing," where you lob the setup out and let it drift, waiting for a bite. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Ryan's technique, clearly derived from both conventional and fly fishing realms, proved especially effective as he consistently reeled in bigger fish from the deeper waters. Brian, staying true to his love for surface fishing, enjoyed his fair share of catches too.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">For those eager to dive deeper into these techniques and witness the camaraderie and thrill of the day, we invite you to watch the full video.

Many, he observes, are unaware of this simple maintenance step, yet it can profoundly impact the line's behavior, how it shoots through the guides, its buoyancy, and even its longevity. Using the Scientific Anglers kit is straightforward—clean with the sandpaper-like side to remove dirt and then apply the dressing with the spongy side. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ydcg34UU-Mr8aUwvvcI6ryNEyRPbVEozz2D3cYGiUjiwPggqcLTIRqRYuj3IuC9NSi_0xiPOUXugyeckiq71Bt9Zk0VbVfuRTm1URNq1VQ-315-CGAD_0hWlKTyVK8YNflv_6-StJIL9FPWPyV30RldkOJaMaQKKoctYCQZxsBZbMIYwiM5PEm-lZqA/s1080/Untitled-1_0007_Screenshot%202023-09-22%20120157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1080" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ydcg34UU-Mr8aUwvvcI6ryNEyRPbVEozz2D3cYGiUjiwPggqcLTIRqRYuj3IuC9NSi_0xiPOUXugyeckiq71Bt9Zk0VbVfuRTm1URNq1VQ-315-CGAD_0hWlKTyVK8YNflv_6-StJIL9FPWPyV30RldkOJaMaQKKoctYCQZxsBZbMIYwiM5PEm-lZqA/w640-h474/Untitled-1_0007_Screenshot%202023-09-22%20120157.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The result?

Always dry your waders after each use, both internally and externally. And remember, the frequency of washing—be it annually, bi-annually, or tri-annually—depends on usage. If exposed to saltwater or salt air, rinse with fresh water and dry post-use. At the end of the day, taking care of your waders is akin to caring for a prized possession.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Ready to elevate your angling experience?
