For those of you that have knowledge on the Eel River, could you please help me and tell me what flies to use and what sizes. Thanks. Jake

This could be a long list or a short one.
Traditional BH Comet style flies - Boss, Gold and Silver Comet and Flame
Bead head woolly buggers
New Spey patterns
Leeches
Terry Thomas at the shop has a lot of background in this area.
Being there at the right time is the most important thing.
**One time I asked Herb Burton about a winter Steelhead pattern. He said something black with a bright spot on it for attraction.

When I go up there. I use black and blue leeches about 2" long with some attractor strips like Bill said.

"So many rivers to fish so little time!"
Good Aron,
I think when you get a fly that you have confidence in, you just fish it.
Black and blue is a new hot color for Steelhead.

Jake,
The Eel has many great sections for swinging flies.
Do you have the StreamTime map for the Eel.
Kiene's shop carries it. A terrific investment
for under $10.
Best to you,
Larry S
Jake,
