BC’s Best Steelhead Flies

Dana Sturn·January 8, 2018
British Columbia’s storied waters are among steelheading’s most hallowed. Names like the Dean, Kispiox, and Bulkley are whispered with reverence internationally, and for many, a steelheader’s life is not complete without at least one visit to them all. I’m often asked by visiting anglers which flies they should bring, and I...

Beach Flies for Pinks

Aaron Goodis·July 30, 2013
Now that we have discussed some locations to search out these silver prizes, lets look at flies. Pinks are typically fairly easy to catch. First, they usually roam in packs and second, they seem to eagerly attack any small buggy looking fly…on one condition. The fly must be pink! Right now...

English Dries: The Bristol Hopper

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2013
English stillwater dry flies differ from most of their North American counterparts. Many North American dry flies tend to rest on the water rather than in it. Simple and impressionistic, English stillwater dries are designed to sit low on the surface or in many instances damp, lying within the surface...
Para Pupa

Fly-Tying: Biot Bodies

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2014
By Phil Rowley From the July/August issue of BC Outdoors Biots are the tough, interlocking barbs found along the leading edge of a bird’s primary flight feather.

Fly-Tying: Blind-Eye Charlie

Phil Rowley·May 8, 2015
   When trout are fixated on chironomids, trying to replicate or match the emerging pupa through pattern choice and presentation technique is the standard course of action.
