Hi Tyler. Very good work. This patterns look wonderful. I'll try to tye the caddis. I'll tell you how this fly fishes here. I have a question: do you use the first fly only for salmon or also for other fish like steelhead?
Very cloudy here. It seems to be a rainy day.
Greetings. Fernando.

Hey Fernando,

You can use the Nushagak Special for spawning salmon and steelhead. Rainbow trout will also go after this pattern during the Spring when they spawn. Dead drift it through a likely looking run and maybe twitch it a little. It imitates a small parr, and the pink hackle really attracts the fish.
