Used this fly during a winter trip in Oregon and caught several steelhead on a swing. The pattern mimics natural movement well and is easy to tie. Highly recommended for winter fishing.

Felt like a classic when fishing in cold streams. Works well with a slow swing and has a natural appearance. A bit more expensive than other patterns, but worth it for the results.

Caught my first steelhead with this pattern in early winter. The design is authentic and performs consistently in moving water. Great for experienced anglers targeting winter runs.
