Lance,
Those look pretty nice. I never had any luck on wooley buggers either. We went to the Pere Marquette in MI 2 weeks ago, had a great time with the Steelies. I think we landed about 15 in 3 days. All big (> 12 or 15 lbs + or -). We caught them all on spoons and rapalas.

I had no success with flies, but got some good ideas. Anything colored fire tiger colors - green, yellow, and orange with black spots or stripes worked well. I just bought some new salmon hooks, lead wire, and bead heads. I'm going to try to tie a few "Fire Tiger" streamers in the next couple weeks...for next year

Thanks,

Here's an idea for you on the Fire tiger flies. Tie them as a bunny leach. With a little looking you can get zonker strips in barred flourescent colors! Do that with a flourescent chenille body and you'll be good to go!
