Fly's story....

I got the idea for this pattern from Bob Veverka's book, "Steelhead Flies - How to tie them", which is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a book on tying spey flies.  My first 2 British Columbia steelhead came on this fly.  When we think steelhead, often we think color and this pattern is no exception, as there are 5 different colors of dubbing through the body with more highlight throughout.  The waddington shank is great in that it keeps the hook that actually attaches your line to the fish short, which in turn equates to less fish lost and more on the bank!
