Rodney recently posted his recipe for an inspired Orange and Black steelhead fly he calls the Ringnecked Pumpkin.
Orange and black can make an effective steelhead fly, and can be effective on salmon. For example, here's one by Ralph Cutter called the Goblin: http://www.flyline.com/fly_patterns/streamers/goblin/ Here's a little challenge: what other BIG TROUT STREAMER, STEELHEAD OR SALMON flies can you suggest that are also primarily ORANGE and BLACK? The more effective and better known patterns would be of interest. Links to patterns and photos are helpful. If we can get a big enough response, I will try to put together a web page organizing the results, links & photos -- whatever is out there in cyberfishland. Please contribute if you can and thanks. If this message thread goes below the radar and disappears, just pretend it never happened. Wes Wada Bend, Oregon
