Just one question.... is the presentation more effective if the fly is dressed with the tutu OR
should the angler be wearing it?

Doc,

It would make sense that Homer would be the one to wear the Tutu, but it's hard to tell.

Every time I've seen him fishing, he's been wearing one.

The confusion comes in when you look at the flies he ties...because they all appear to be wearing tutus....too.

Even his San Juan Worms and chironomids.

I once saw him with a 30" brown trout at Pass Lake...the fish swam by, saw his fly, saw his tutu, and laughed so hard it swam right up on the bank by the boat launch...which was lucky for Homer, as he had been standing there for the past 55 minutes trying to figure out which fin went on which foot...which probably wouldn't have been so difficult if his tutu wasn't in the way so he could actually see his feet...too.



Fish on...

That's no Tutu it's kilt!!!!

Now understand that this is a black and white issue!!! There is absolutely NO room for any gray here. Anyone who disagrees with me is just flat out wrong or insane!!! End of Story!

THE best Lure/bait for summer steelhead is a 2/5th oz chrome little cleo. This is the best bar none! don't agree your wrong!!! It really irks me when people think they know more than me! I wish they would just stop! While it's true that everyone is entitled to an opinion only one of us is entitled to be right , And that's ME!

That was amazing Brown I think it was the TUTU that did it. The hard part about San Juan worms/Chironominds is getting those TUTU on them specially those 24 & 26. Yea Doc I have a collection of TUTU I wear when I fish, seeing pictures of myself with my spey rod and my pink TUTU in stunning. Been down too Oregon the last week fishing the Sandy River for Jerry and Summer Runs was a blast, it was hard keeping them off my line (you know the TUTU thing). With my spey flies (1/0 – 2/0 – 3/0) makes so much easier to get those TUTU on. They look so nice anybody would fish them and people do ask for them.

Hey, Rob,

I think you ought to use that entire last post as your signature line. It would save people the time and effort of having to read your posts and figure that out for themselves.

Wait a minute...no I'm not.

My personal favorite is what I like to call the " purple passion " ..... Its a red chrome bead and a blue chrome bead pinned on the line with a toothpick above a #2 pink Gamakatsu hook with an egg loop and a small dime to size chunk of my special cured prawns ... I use grape koolaid and borax , they turn out firm and look almost black when they are done but after the first cast they take on a translucent purple look that steelhead cant seem to resist ... no joke it really works ......Von Warner

Thanks to all who took the time to reply Thanks..... Ross

I agree with Todd and leadthrower.
Bait is my choice for summer runs.

Todd nows what catches summer steelies

Homer,
I never heard of Stillaguamish sunrise.
Is there a such fly?
I know there is the Skykomish sunrise.
