Steelhead-Salmon Nymphs Archives - Streamside Au Sable River Fly Fishing Guides

Michigan Streamside Custom Rod and Guide Service

Nymph and egg patterns are designed for steelhead and salmon in the Great Lakes region and are the patterns that we use here in Michigan. The method that we use to fish these flies for steelhead/salmon is either by the use of a floating line & strike indictor or a deep water nymphing technique using a running line and split shot. These methods can be fished most effectively with 9' to 10' fly rods. Typically on the larger rivers the long rods are used. For steelhead 7wt. or 8wt. and for salmon 9wt. are most common.
