We usually lead off with Black Zuddlers and if they aren't producing the Olive goes on next. A great sculpin-leech pattern that big trout love. Killer lake cutthroat or rainbow fly, too.

The Conehead Autumn Splendor is another big rainbow magnet. It is top flight searching fly that is money in deep runs and around root wads. Strip or swing this fly and hang on. The heavy cone gets it down and the rubber legs and profile wake up big predators. This fly is especially effective in the early season before the salmon arrive.

If you could only choose one color of this fly it would be Dirty Sock. This is the color that opened our eyes to this pattern. After a 4th completely tangled bead rig on a small stream, it was really nice to swing this fly with on a floating line with no split shot, indicator or anything else and catch a ton of fish!

Alaskan trout in lakes can often be enticed with a big fly that is stripped in. They don't get much bigger or juicier than the Chernobyl Ant. This fly will leave you with a grin when that big trout, grayling or pike engulfs it.

Brett's Klamath Intruder from Aqua Flies is perfect when you want a small offering that still pops in the water. The Blue Black version is a top steelhead color and also will get big grabs from spring rainbow trout. Brett's Klamath Intruder is a mere 1 3/4" in length. It is tied on a tiny 15mm shank and has an Octopus #4 hook. If the hook gets damaged you can swap it out for a new one. It has tiny lead eyes so you will want to fish it with a sink tip line or a bit of weight to get it down.

The Voodoo Leech is a jumbo-sized, mean leech that gets down in the strike zone, has terrific flowing action in the water, and hooks up a variety of big fish. At 4 inches in length it is a big bite. The long flowing black leech with lead eyes and a flame head would be enough to attract steelhead, coho and big bows, but add in a skirt of hot pink silicone legs and it is almost too much!

Check out Bob's Booty Mouse! Big predatory trout are mesmerized by the way this bad girl shakes her thing while dancing across the river. The upturned barbless #4 stinger allows you to fish this fly in and around structure, off of grassy cut banks and right up against the log jams. A 6mm bead and dubbed orange butt takes this fly over the top. A 'must have' for any angler heading to Alaska or Kamchatka.
