Fall flies and streamers

[Garfield the cat]

Can anyone suggest some fly selection I should go for this fall???? Not sure what the steel or Browns would be feeding on....

Egg sucking leeches and willy buggers are a good start

Totally depends on what you are fishing, but Swing4steel has told you about by far the most productive day in and day out patterns for most species in the fall. Those 2 alone tied in a variation of colours will catch you Steelhead, Salmon, Smallies, Carp and anything that would possibly take a fly. Now if you are looking to to swing, there are some traditional salmon and steelhead patterns tied on salmon hooks that will be a hit or miss depending on what they are feeding on, but are just beautiful to fish regardless. And on the other end of the spectrum for swinging, you have all your intruder/trailer hook style flies that will get better hooksets but is again a hit or miss thing based on a number of variables. Like Swing4steel said, good start would be egg sucking leeches and wooly buggers

Personally a big fan of nymphs - two faves are a black stone in various sizes, or green caddis in smaller sizes. Obviously the river will dictate which nymphs to use though - just do a quick check on the bottom of a few stones in the water, and they'll tell you what the fish may be eating

Glo bugs and San Juan worms.

Lash some marabou or rabbit strip on a hook as they undulate in the current very well, and match colours and sizes to conditions, two colours gives nice contrast. I don't personally believe they are that picky on which fly you are using but at the depth, speed, and angle of the swing(for streamers or spey). Black stoneflies always seem to work well too.
