Steelhead Spey and Classic Flies

Neo Classic Methow

This fly is now tied in a classic tie up, and has been a super effective Steelhead fly. It first started as the Improved Methow Moal, and then evolved into Skagit Methow Leech (which has the record for catching 20 lb Steelhead).

For lower water and summer conditions this same color pattern can be found in this fly and Skagit Leech Lite.

ev·o·lu·tion

noun

noun: evolution; plural noun: evolutions

the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

synonyms:

Darwinism, natural selection

"his interest in evolution"

the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

"the forms of written languages undergo constant evolution"

I designed EVO so it can be fished with either a Skagit or Scandi line. I use a lot of the same proven color patterns that I know work but every fly pattern has it own silhouette, movement, sinkability rate, and castability.

EVO is 2.5 - 3 inches long. A good all year round Steelhead fly.
