Irideus Steelhead Flies for 2016 and using shooting head fly fishing lines to cast them with ease


Some of the 2016 Irideus Steelhead flies used  to catch winter steelhead on shooting heads. If you like the looks of the box in the picture it is a custom Irideus gGeenWater fly fishing box. We are adding this irideus steelhead fly box design to our 2016 product line up. You can request one as a custom order at irideusflyfishing@gmail.com.
When it comes to mastering casting big flies or heavy weighed flies in adverse conditions as fly fishers we have our work cut out for us on the rivers we fish. One way to push these big flies or small flies for that mater is to become familiar with fly fishing shooting head fly fishing lines.
The Irideus shooting head fly fishing line systems for 2016 cover all single hand fly fishing rods, switch fly rods and spey rods. We are passionate about our Zen shooting head designs that assist people in our passion for casting and swinging steelhead flies and trout flies on shooting head fly lines.

It takes a few sessions out on the water fishing to get used to making shooting head casts. But soon it is clear you are casting farther and your fly is in the water longer with false casting to get line out becomes a thing of the past. If for no other reason when your fly rod is not performing because the fly is to big. Some of us will just loop a shooting head onto the end of our single hand fly lines so we can get some extra push on  a windy day or why a big meat fly becomes a big brown trouts dinner bell.

Shooting head fly lines have a great fit on the river yet also the coast and on some of our favorite lakes. Steelhead,,landlocked ,Cutthroat, salmon, redfish,striped bass you name a species and we say you can benefit from fishing a shooting head in some situation if not all.

We try very hard to share our passion for casting our Irideus en shooting Head fly lines with spey casting fly rods and also with fly fishing rods. There is a great feeling about a long rod and casting with no back casting room to fish waiting  in a spot single hand fly fishers can not reach. It can be a technical game some days on the river. Lots of people and boats some days forcing you to adjust. To present your fly in a way the fish are not used to seeing in a heavily pressured river can be key. Spey and switch fly rods and shooting heads will do this for you. Then you will find yourself on the river with lots of room with no other fisher in sight and your symphony will begin. You will practice and become at one with your spey rod. Then you will hook your first steelhead on one. The Irideus spey rods are not stiff stcks. These rods bring great enjoyment into playing your silver bounty.  We suggest the 6/7 Irideus spey rod for steelhead and trout to people looking for one go to fly rod for fly fishing shooting heads. If you check out our facebook page you can see the colorful memories we have had on the river fishing this style.
We hope to inspire people to get out on the water and fly fish. This is one fly fishing style that will get you excited again about the sport you love.
