Flies For Bull Trout

We have all stock up by now on the flies we need for the Cutt's and Browns. It may be worth while grabbing a few big flies for the Bull trout. I'd hate to be the only one catching them. Here are a few that seem to be productive from some research:

Deceiver, Streaker:
Epoxy Head Deceiver, Blue & White: Cone head Rabbit Strip String Leech, Olive:
Epoxy Head Bait Fish, Gray Back Minnow: Cone head Rabbit Strip String Leech, White:
Bass Buggers:
Rabbit Strip Divers:


These are all big flies, number 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0 range. Having as many color options as possible is a plus. Bulls will often hit new colors over and over. The Bulls will be holding deep and in moving water, so mega weight heads will help them get down quick.

Great post. Paul and I were talking about this yesterday. Tracking down these big flies is not as easy as it should be? Any idea where you plan to buy some? Jason.....good way to make a few bucks for the trip. If you can tie em quick enough, I'd say $4-$5 each is about right.

i can tie them no problem, they would diffently be a few $$ for the material, the rabbit strips can be costly
