All about flies Fly Tying

Just wondering what flies you would tie for Erie steelhead and what size and colors.

I suggest a Senyo’s Ice Man Minnow in pink and white or orange and white. Hooked over 20 on Elk Creek last year (unfortunately couldn’t get any in the net.)

This is a tube fly pattern, but I’ve adapted it on the hook.

Piper - I am also in Pittsburgh. I’ll drop you a line next time I go up. I always have a few patterns to share. Do you tie?

Ya I have been tying for about 5 years now . I was looking for some different patterns , getting tired of tying sucker spawn and egg patterns.
