    Do patterns need to be original?

    Not exactly. We’d like to see your spin or tweaks on a classic pattern, if that’s your fly of choice.

    Just moved to the Tahoe area and looking for my next steelhead fix. Do you guys have some ideas for me on winter steelhead in your area?

    Just moved to the Tahoe area from Michigan and need a steelhead fix. Do you guys have any ideas for me in your area?

    Just general information if you do not want to give out secrets.

    Thanks KC
