SALMON AND STEELHEAD SINGLE HOOK FLY PATTERNS. Hook size 12 8 - $US each
THE SALMON ALVIN STEELHEAD FLY PATTERN
Oil rich salmon eggs fatten up
the trout for the winter and in the spring, the eggs which survived turn into
millions of tiny alevin. They stay in the gravel and survive off their
orange yolk sacks until the water warms around mid May. They fry then struggle free to
begin their journey to the lakes where they will live and grow for two years
before migrating to the sea. Not all of them live that long as they too become
food for trout and steelhead. These fry patterns work equally well for coho
salmon and cutthroat trout.
