NOTE: This is one of my go-to steelhead flies that I’ve been using the last few years. It seemed appropriate to be the F.O.M. given the passing of Prince this week. I just pinched this fly out of my fly box, so it is pretty ratty looking. I’ll get a better fly and photo after we get back from the BigHorn. ~G
