Black Heron Fly Fishing

These flies are absolutely deadly in the Cowlitz and Kalama rivers.

The spey rodders are making good use of these flies by catching lots of summer run steelies.

The Deschutes river fly anglers are discovering this pattern as being very effective during the mornings and evenings from the mouth of the river to Pelton dam using a extended hook on a surgeons loop. The extended hook catches many fish which would only nibble and pluck at the fly.
