Question Steelhead Flies

I have never caught a steelhead and am looking to get into steelhead fishing. I am new to spey casting, having only caught a couple fish on the 2 handed rod.
I am looking for some go-to patterns for winter/summer/fall steelhead. A picture of your steelhead boxes would be awesome.
Thanks
Riley

Here is a couple of ideas, but, my fly boxes are so secretive that I won't send you pictures of that! Or...I don't know how to post pictures on this site!

Summer: Just a few flies in #2's, #4's #6's, a couple of skaters and a few small #10 or so dark patterned comeback flies will get you going to chase Steelhead.

I would say:
~Street Walker in #2, & #4
~Steelhead Coachman in #6 & #8
~Silver Hilton in #6 & #8
~Blue Charm #10 as a comeback fly
~Natural and Purple Muddler Minnow patterns as skaters or wet flies
~Spey Skater and a couple Rusty Bombers

Your summer will be set from dry skaters and wet flies to go out and have some fun chasing Steelhead.
