Target Species:
Steelhead, Trout

Tying Instructions:
Materials are listed in the order they are tyed onto the hook.

These were tyed to look like miniature steelhead flies. The up-eyed hook seems to fit the style nicely IMO. The fish won't care about the little details, but they are a lot of fun to tye. I really like the look of the red and black version. The silver badger hen hackle blends in nicely.

Presentation Tips:
