This is seen in these two original wet flies: the 1940s-born Skykomish Sunrise with chenille body (left) from the vise of George McLeod, to the 1960s-born Black Diamond (right), which was sleeker with a seal fur body (designed and tied by Harry Lemire). https://www.treycombsflyfishing.com/blog/harry-lemire-caddis-steelhead-flies monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b6acc367b57456c5355c69/4766dc75-d22c-4c75-a98c-ede111ac51c2/Caddis-Steelhead-Fly-Pattern-Harry-Lemire.jpg BLOG - Essay: Harry Lemire’s Caddis Steelhead Flies - Make it stand out Top: Where the magic happened: Harry Lemire in his well-stocked fly-tying room in Black Diamond, Washington many years ago. A highly original thinker at the vise, Lemire eschewed the gaudy steelhead flies popular in he 1950s and ’60s—he called them “lures”—and designed more subtle patterns (next page) to be fished with stealth. Bottom: Lemire favorites tied by Harry. Clockwise from top left: Fall Caddis (Green River, Washington, 1984) fished best as a “damp waker,” Thompson River Caddis (1986) fished dry, Grease Liner (Wenatchee River, Washington 1962) fished best topwater on slow swing. https://www.treycombsflyfishing.com/blog/archive-legacy-plate-1 monthly 0.5 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b6acc367b57456c5355c69/287e3d58-7919-443c-9336-ca8e350e4cfa/zane-grey-north-umpqua-river-oregon-fly-fishing-web.jpg BLOG - Archive: Legacy Plate #1 - Make it stand out The download link to the high resolution version of this image is located at the bottom of this page. https://www.treycombsflyfishing.com/blog/black-ranger monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b6acc367b57456c5355c69/a179e866-4175-4869-bed1-74427426f2c3/black-ranger-salmon-fly-pryce-tannatt.jpg BLOG - Fly Pattern Dictionary: The Black Ranger - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.treycombsflyfishing.com/blog/fly-pattern-dictionary-brads-brat monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b6acc367b57456c5355c69/b234effd-6900-477f-94cf-aa1ba3b2b533/brads-brat-fly-pattern.jpg BLOG - Fly Pattern Dictionary: Brad’s Brat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.treycombsflyfishing.com/blog/the-mystery-of-thompson-steelhead-the-river monthly 0.5 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b6acc367b57456c5355c69/c973eb70-a9c4-42ee-81d3-5b98f11d36be/thompson-river-graveyard-pool-british-columbia.jpg BLOG - Essay: Thompson River Steelhead — The River (Pt. 1) - Make it stand out Graveyard Pool on British Columbia’s Thompson River.
