mmmm, you can just see the fish thinking- "I gotta kill that thing!", when this swings thru behind the rock on the river! Another essential fly to a any steelhead swap- Thanks Ron, very cool
That fly will sink rather slow with the rabbit strip flying the way it will in the water. I have problems getting flies with this design down fast enough for most steelhead fishing I do. No problem for the summer runs though.
I dont like that much loose leather. It seems like it hooks on the point of the hook somewhere on the leather frequently. That thing looks great though.
