Ah yes, it’s that time of year. Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the snow is melting…and we’re getting lots of questions from eager anglers headed to BC West on the Dean this summer about what flies they should bring, how they should tie them, what hooks they should use, and more!
So – we thought we’d give you a little roundup of a bunch of great posts we’ve run about steelhead flies, rigging them, tying them and picking them for the Dean.
Special note to all you folks asking us about steelhead flies: we really love your questions – keep ’em coming! We had to grasp at straws for a witty intro today.
