Have you experimented with different colors (olive vs. tan vs. burnt orange) for the chromer poopah? Or do you usually stick with the color shown?

That is one nice looking fly. I typically tie them on
a 200R hook, but now you have me thinking...since 200R's
aren't the beefiest hooks, I think I will switch to 2457's
for steelies.

Gracias Phil!

Pound,

Yes I have tried a tan and olive. Tan and cinnamon have been more successful than the olive. I've also fished an oversized (Size 8) in orange to imitate an October Caddis. They work well also.

Phil,

When you tie this pattern as an October Caddis are the materials the same other than the body being orange? I have been looking for an October Caddis pattern and this would seem to fit well.

I would use a different hook, and stay with a lighter shade of Vernille......even pale orange/tan to light rust. I would probably use a TMC 3761 hook, 1x long and 2x heavy. I might even tie it as a soft hackle. If I get some time in the next few days I will tie an example and post.

The shepherd has exposed himself as a the greatest fraud fraud in flyfishing history. If he was truly the keeper of the light he would be ripping on people for fishing for steelhead with flies that are for trout. He would also have shamed them for using bobicators And jigs.

If he was truly the keeper of the light he would have shown them their ill ways and shown them true flies for steelhead. Thats right you claim to have fished with that poser from Arizona Barucie. Here is what a real steelhead fly looks like.

Phil,

I have been tying my pupahs on 2457 and 105s for a while. I used to straighten a lot of hooks on half pounders when using 3761s or 200s. Nice bug, btw.
