Steelies are coming on strong in the great lakes area now with; Sucker Spawn and Glo Bugs still working. Hot streamer patterns includes Egg-Sucking Leech, Beadhed Flashbugger, Zonkers, Sculpins, and Muddlers. Don't forget the nymphs, as the eggs begin to disappear, BH Circus Caddis, BH Hare's Ear, BH Kaufmann Stones, are all good bets.
West coast steelies are being caught on Purple Perils, Freight Trains, Green Butt Skunks, among others. Also many fish are being taken on nymphs, beadhead and other wise. #10 Beadhead Hare's Ear, Beadhead Kaufmann Stones, and don't foget Leeches.
Flats fishing can be very good right now with little pressure, especially for Tailing Reds, try Mantis Shrimp, Seaducer, or Borski's Chernobyl Crab.
Trout fishing goes extreme this time of year, with small patterns, and steamers. Aggressive strikes can still be had ahead of the cold water, using buggers, muddlers. For rivers with scuds and sowbugs, they are available year around to fish, and will work right now through winter.
BWO's-The hatch that just keeps on giving. BWO, Parachute BWO, Foam Post Emerger BWO, Spinner BWO, Loop Wing Emerger BWO, BWO Wet Fly, Pheasant Tail, BH Pheasant Tail Emerger.
