Fishing Irideus Steelhead and trout flies while float fishing or indicator fishing for winter steelhead and trout

We have seen a rise in conventional fishing rod float fishers migrating to using fly fishing flies. Sheading the light on this effective approach to steelhead and trout fishing has been fun. We have explained many fly fishermen and woman fly casters prefer to to use indicators. This is basically the same as steelhead float fishing. The fly fishing indicators are smaller and vary in many sizes. The set up is effective and the same as float fishing. Below is a basic rigging set up using the irideus tungsten micro swivels. These are great to have and most of us now use them all the time to avoid losing entire leaders to snags on the bottom.

Float fishing using this set up on coventional gear or below fly fishing indicator floats is very effective. Its probolly the most common way western fly fishermen and woman fly casters go about thier day these days. Some traditional fly casters frown down on indicator fishing. Maybe thats because its so easy and effective. We like to take a modern approach to fishing steelhead and want people to catch fish. We have been reaching out to many conventional fishing rod anglers and guides promoting this effective tactic. When fishing gets down to match the hatch it only makes sense to have this approach at your fingertips. All fishermen and woman should have some fly fishing flies to do this. Any fly will do but we now offer a few jig style flies that have been very effective on fly rods and also spinning and casting fishing rods.
