We measure steelhead by the tail grip. Pictures can make a fish look small or giant. The tail grip does not lie.We could say in the first two months of 2013 the Irideus crew may have landed more trophy steelhead combined than any other crew in the world. Its not a statistics game yet a proven love for our sport with knowledge that shines through our products and loyal customers.

Fly fishing steelhead is a true passion that each person finds when in pursuit of these majestic fish for the first time. The best way to begin your steelhead fly fishing journey is with a few well-rounded selections of steelhead fly patterns. people may not think of a #14 Caddis fly pattern for steelhead but there is a time and place. Fresh searun coastal steelhead flies some days are replaced by large stoneflies and smaller articulated steelhead intruder flies. Other days it is streamer flies that we will turn to like wooly bugger flies tied up some and weighted to serve a niche on the steelhead fly menu. It is very important to plan ahead when visiting an area. A steelheader fishing Washington full-time may feel out of place on a small California coastal run using short indicator set ups with nymph trailer flies. One way to take the thinking out is to find Irideus steelhead flies. Most of the flies have now been public for about a year. Some of the Timothy Horner signature series fly patterns are fly fishing industry bests under the Irideus name. These custom flies have proven to success on all western fly water with special regard given to the Chico California area. These are some of the toughest rivers to be consistent on and trusting in your flies in Northern California is a must. Be willing to adjust your approach when steelhead fly fishing. Each specific river,stream and run will hAVE A NEW LESSON TO BE LEARNED AND A NEW APPROACH TO BE MASTERED.
