hi, i am heading to the oak the first week in november. it has been years since i have been up in the fall but i do steelhead fish in the winter pretty regularly. i was wondering what kind of flies i should be throwing. i have caught browns in the winter months on copper johns and golden stones but was wondering what else i should add to the arsenal and also will they take flies on the swing? any info would help guys

Glo bugs in chartreuse and Nuclear roe bugs in chartreuse and pink are solid flys for the browns at the oak

Butter rum &opal salmon Nuke eataz are a few of my favsthis time of year, Both Swing & mostly dead drift for me.

Black or brown wolly buggers. Browns love gobies and sculpins.

egg sucking leech

I'll second that!!

thanks a bunch guys! it doesnt sound like i need to fish much differently than i do for steelies then. i appreciate all the suggestions.

size 14 oregon cheese glo-bug. smaller the better. all other egg flies are just copies of this. 4-6lb flouro tippet. you can get fish on buggers early in the day- but as soon as that sun hits take it off and you will do 5:1 on the littlest glow bug you can tie.

Glow bugs, stone flies, phesant tailed nymphs, eztaz flies, and trout beads.
