Nice Fly.
About 25 years ago a good friend and I spent a couple of years perfecting a pattern for coastal steelhead estuaries. After many years of trial and error, we began this quest with great hope. It turned out to be time well spent.
I now only use that fly, 100% of the time steelhead fishing. Perhaps because I have so much confidence in the fly I catch fish with it. Or maybe the fish just gotta have it. Tides, weather, flows, turbidity just don't seem to matter with this fly.
I only tie mine in a size 8.
And it is almost identical to the "Fly of the Month" other than if you replaced the purple with brown.
Seems we are on to something here.
