California steelhead fly fishing is alive and well

A Feather river crew member that helps all anglers out on the water for no other reason than to be nice. A person who wants all fly anglers to catch fish is a nice guy. Word on the river is he may be guiding soon.

Feather river steelheading would be less without people like Josh Hawk. The calls come early and often to join in on the silver flashes moving up the river we love.

Some Shabby Chic for a lady with a chrome heart

Our youngest team member with  a smile that says he will be with us for years to come. Take time out for the younger generation and find a friend for life. Way to take the right path in life Michael.

The big guy with one more fat Feather river native steelhead.This buck put the 6/7 to the test. What an amazing strong searun steelie!

As his steelhead get bigger his mug shows wisdom wrinkles. Yes that steelhead  is a California Heavy weight!

 

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.

 

The Sacramento River and Feather river in California would be less without this fly. The Timothy Horner Signature Series Irideus Bead Head Prince Nymph fly fishing fly. Credit where credit has been hard earned. What an amazing fish catching machine this fly rendition is!

2012 6/7 Irideus spey rod review against big chrome west coast steelhead.

The 2012 Irideus Spey Rod and the designer with a clean chrome west coast steelhead.
The Irideus 11.6 spey rod was designed to bring all water enjoyment. Some spey fly fishers enjoy catching greyling ,trout,smallmouth bass and of coarse steelhead. This rod was designed to enjoy all this fish and more. The custom Irideus 6/7 11.6 design has the backbone to challenge larger steelhead with skill. This in essence brings one of the best industry designs to the table. The Irideus 6/7 spey rod has been given top industry honors. The 11.6 6/7 356 grain, 7/8 13.0 556 Grain and 8/9 13.6 606 Grain spey rods have also been a fast model for the industry big names, diving into the soulful world of steelhead fly fisherman. Most of us care more about a good rain jacket and proper gear and flies than kudos. But let Kudos be given to Irideus this year 2012 as industry contributor's even if you have to struggle to read between the lines. If nothing else have a look at the foam in your fly box that would be contribution one. We hope more than anything the steelhead and fly fishing community will embrace the contributions in fly boxes,tube fly boxes,tube flies,fly fishing flies and custom spey fly fishing rods we have brought to the world of fly fishing in a terrible economy. Thank you to all the good people of the world who support us!
