Whatcha got?

Make great steelhead flies though tying them a larger sizes could be helpful!

I got plenty of blobs, boobies and FABs. Never had a lot of success with them except for the net pen freaks on Roosevelt or Rufus. But I haven't fished them a lot either, because it feels so wrong......

When it gets tough, at a certain Thurston county C&R lake, I turn to a chartreuse blob. Gets the skunk off every time...

Been on my Tie list, in what size ? Brian Chan and friend use them. To me it looks like Power bait.

Better than blobby boobs!

Makes me wonder what do Blobs emerge into?
Better start tying Blob emerger with a parachute!

I have had a lot of luck with boobys in BC lakes for triploids. Stripped fast on a fast sinking line. I don't think color matters very much, just high vis and small. The best material I have found is FNF Jelly, which is a fantastic "bump" material for steelhead flies

Just tied some tonight.

I don't like to use them in quality waters since fish seem to swallow them a fair amount. But for the local hatchery brats? Bring it on. If they swallow it I'll just bonk them and get the fly out when I get home.

Never tied a blob. What is the body(?) material those are tied with? Some kind of chenile?

FNF Jelly Fritz 15mm

The 15mm FNF Jelly Fritz is the material for creating the very popular Blob flies. FNF Jelly Fritz is cool for Blob flies, but there are many other uses to use this awesome stuff as well, like streamer bodies or salmon and steelhead flies. In both standard and UV colors, these super bright...

Had a lot of success with biscuit color.

I don’t tie them too often but thought I should for a cold weekend fishing trip tomorrow.

I’ve been using my own version (on the right) for years during winter months on Lone Lake. I like rabbit fur tails. That chartreuse works well this time of year, slow retrieved on a full sink line.
