Simple, high contrast, and deadly in clear water, this pattern has become a go-to choice for targeting big steelhead and salmon. This pattern is versatile and will no doubt prove effective for salmon, sea trout, and steelhead – fish that are often triggered by subtle motion and natural-looking silhouettes. Whether you’re swinging flies in a big river or targeting sea-run browns along the small rivers, this design is a strong addition to your fly box.
