Field Notes

A weighted spey-style streamer for swinging through runs and seams for steelhead and salmon. The dumbbell eyes help it get down and keep the fly tracking properly on a swing, especially in colder water and heavier flows.

Pros

  • Weighted with dumbbell eyes for better sink and swing control
  • Effective for steelhead and salmon
  • Designed for guide-style swinging presentations

Cons

  • Heavier fly can be harder to cast on lighter rods
  • Best suited to swing fishing rather than dead-drift presentations
