Field Notes

A classic streamer pattern for sea-run cutthroat and early fall steelhead. Fish it on a swing, strip retrieve, or across current seams where baitfish or fry are likely to be present.

  • Effective for early fall steelhead
  • High-visibility color scheme

Cons

  • Not a general-purpose dry fly
  • May be less effective in very clear, pressured water
