Hogan's
"A simple name for a simple fly. B&O stands for black and orange. It filled my need for a quick and straightforward tie for summer steelhead.
It catches fish like crazy, when they are around of course, and takes but a few minutes to tie. For several seasons this was my go-to-get-it-done fly on Columbia River tributaries in late summer and fall.
Fish her just under the surface on a floating line when conditions are prime."

Hogan's
"I often turn to the Black Dress during the last bit of falling light on the high desert tributaries of the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
I like knowing the dark complexion of the pattern casts a good silhouette against a dull sky.
She's also a rockstar when it comes to following up to a missed player that may have moved to a more brightly colored fly."

Mahonytop
Hogan's
"Bright red is a hot color for steelhead.. It's probably my favorite color to employ when fishing behind other anglers in winter and spring.
The Mahony is a simple spey-style fly I tied in honor of Jerry Mahony of Seattle Washington, a fine angler who frequents the Sauk River. After the huge flood of 1990, the Skagit and Saul Rivers saw many dramatic changes.
One of the positive changes was on the Sauk where a beautiful and reliably productive run was formed. Jerry Mahony was the first person I ever saw fishing it. So my immediate reference to the spot was "Mahoney's", hence the name of this now popular run and my red spey fly.
The Mahony has found its way into the fly boxes, and knotted to the tippets, of many steelheaders throughout their range."

Summer Irontop
Classic hair wing steelhead flies
"Steelhead flies tied with a hair wing have long been the standard. My introduction to steelheading came while tying flies.
Tying trout flies had become a chore, more of a necessity. I had to force myself to sit down at the vise. A photo of a steelhead fly with the recipe sparked a desire to tie steelhead flies.
Tying the oversized colorful flies became the perfect distraction. Long story short, tying steelhead flies dressed with a hair wing launched a lifelong pursuit of one of the greatest fish on the planet.
Inspired by the classic hair wing steelhead flies, my Summer Irons are the result of years of alterations. The ER fly is my go-to summer fly. I fish it from sunrise to sunset.
On dark mornings and late into the evening, the Flat Lander or the Bulkley Blue may get the call. Lacking confidence on bright sunny days, I will switch to the Black Bear Bright. Fishing a steelhead fly with confidence is the most important aspect of steelheading. Having these four summer irons in my fly box, I can step into any steelhead river with full confidence.
