Yellow Creek Trout Club

I have been fishing the club recently due to convienience and proximity to school and have been yielding excellent results. The club is owned by Steve and Joe Renosky of Renosky lures, and during the winter months this place is nothing but dormant! Some huge rainbows, browns, brooks and even a few tigers populate these waters. During the summer the carp fishing here is phenomenal as well. With the water being so cold dead drifting nymphs and egg patterns have been producing well, but when the water gets a few degrees warmer a streamer or swinging wet will be the go-to. Both of these fish seen here were taken on a size 14 flashback pheasant tail.

Sili Shiner

Sili skin is some sweet looking stuff once you can use it. This fly is pretty simple to tie.















Using a Saber Salmon Hook, Size 4
















Wrap Lead to the start of the hook eye to keel and swim naturally once finished.
















Tie in marabou and flashabou tail, in this case white and pearl are used.















Wrap back to the start of the tail after you tie in the Pearl EZ body.
















Push the tubing back and secure at tail, whip finish and put some head cement on the back part.















Fold over the sheets of sili skin and cut at the fold to make a symmetrical shaped minnow body















Peel backing off of material and place it over tubing evenly















Fold sili skin together on itself and sqeeze down the entire length to secure it and shape a minnow body.















Add prismatic eyes for a finished look, and trim body to look even underneath if needed.

Tippets

Tippets are by far the most important piece of tackle that you will have on the stream. When fishing for steelhead I find it very advantageous to use Flourocarbon due to it's refactive qualities (or lack thereof) when submerged. It's important to let your presentation hang vertically in the water column so that the fish see the flies first and not the tippet. But when you want to buy flourocarbon you are usually paying an arm and a leg with some spools running to 15 dollars. I just wanted to post about some flouro I found to be really productive, and inexpensive.


Cabelas Flouro

Cabelas manufactures this for Segauar, and at 7.49$ a spool it's hard to beat.

November 11th Trip

Wow haven't done this forever, but figured id' take some time out to post. Made the third trip of the winter season on November 11th with a fellow board member. The conditions were less than favorable but still managed some hookups. Very low and crystal clear conditions didn't allow for much error in fishing. The fish were very skittish but plentiful, and seemed to turn on at certain times of the day. Hot flies were white/pink glo-bug size 16, and white opalescent estaz egg. Some older fish on the upper parts of the tributaries already, but wise to the game I didn't manage to break the over 10 mark that usually comes with fishing in Northeast. All in all a great day to be out on the streams though.
Here are some Pictures:
