Thank you for visiting our fly tying blog! Here you will find free step-by-step instructions for fly patterns that we have found to be very successful while fishing on the Tributaries of Lake Erie known as " Steelhead Alley." You will also be able to see step-by-step instructions for warm water, tube, trout, and destinational fly patterns. If you would like to request a pattern tutorial that you do not see, please send requests to team@steelheadalleyoutfitters.com

Senyo's Super Ice Man Minnow
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Well to go along with the spirit of over stuffing ourselves on tasty mounds of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potato's...We added 4 new tutorials for the holiday! We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to pass the gravy!!!
Step #1: Attach red 6/0 thread to a Diiachi 2450 #8 hook and wind toward the rear stopping at the hook point.
Step #2: Center tie a sparse clump of Senyo's Pink Laser Dubbing and fold the material onto itself toward the rear of the fly.
Step #4: Tie in a 2 inch long piece of white rubber leg to each side of the hook. Fold the rubber legs over and secure, creating two legs on each side of the fly pattern.
Step #5: Blend together white and blue laser dubbing, and center tie a sparse clump of the mixture in front of the rubber legs.
Step #6: Comb the Laser dubbing toward the rear of the fly, and build a small red thread head. (This will become the base for the eyes.)
