A custom design by Grabflies. Design idea came from combining the famous Skagit Minnow with the new Intruder style trailing hook. This fly has lots of action in the water with a large profile. This Neo Skagit Leech is a version of the original Skagit Leech tied by Grabflies. It is tied with a hidden .25" nickle bead. The hidden bead helps prop up the Marabou which has stiff Prop Hackle in front of it. The fly swims different, and snags less as the bead will not snag on rocks. This design has heavy wire wrapped underneath a prop ball then wrapped over with diamond braid. See second photo. Size: 3 - 3.5 inches | #1/0 SSW Owner hook Fly is tied and glued in every step of it's construction - tied to last.

The Sputnik Tube Intruder is a blend of traditional Intruder styling and European highlights. A fusion of natural and synthetic materials; Finn Raccoon, Arctic Fox, Ostrich, Predator Wrap and Marabou add to this flies swimming action. The Finn Raccoon wing is reminiscent of Scandi styles. Two stations similar to Intruders. A collar weight behind the front station helps to get the fly down. The Sputnik has great movement and a profile in the water that is irresistible to fish.

SNOWRUNNER BRUSH TUBE (Two in Stock) o HIGH QUALITY SNOWRUNNER HAIR ON BRUSH o LOADED WITH ANGEL HAIR AND HOLOGRAPHIC FLASHABOU o FISH HUNTER SPEY MARABOU o PREIUM 6MM BEAD FOR SUPPORT o HIGH QUALITY CONES FROM EUROPE o opst swing hook size 1/0 for Kings o opst swing hook size 1 for Steelhead, Select hook below These patterns just breathe life! You have to put them in the water to see. Snowrunner hair comes from a fairly uncommon domesticated animal in Europe. The hair is as durable as it gets and it just pumps like hell in the water! It doesn't mat or tangle on the hook like synthetics and icelandic sheep, and is semi-translucent giving it a beautiful sheen. When I first tested the pattern on the Kitimat river in BC, I caught a chrome bright Chinook on my first cast! Yes, i was at the right place at the right time, and a little dumb luck too, but I fished this pattern for a week straight and beat the crap out of it! It is still in my box ready to go! Anyway, if a large pattern that holds profile in the heaviest of currents, yet moves beautifully in even the slower pools, is what you are after, I highly recommend you give these a shot! Size: 4 inches - Large fly that is easy to cast.  Alex Belonga, King Salmon caught using SNOWRUNNER BRUSH TUBE

PNW Munker Fly
The first fly I was commissioned to tie was for a guide on the Great Lakes. He wanted a rabbit wing with a muddler head on a tube! I was
nervous and new, and he was patient and kind. I immediately went to the internet looking for this type of fly I could simply copy, but didn’t find much. I eventually pieced together a couple ideas, and through my friends critiques, we ‘re-designed’ a pattern. The idea comes from Kim Sorenson’s Munker pattern. A killer Danish Atlantic Salmon and Seatrout fly. The muddler head style is a Davie Mcphail design, and I’ve yet to find a better way to tie a muddler head on a tube! This particular fly accounted for my first ever fish on my own tied fly, and my friends personal best steelhead on his home river! I couldn’t recommend the pattern enough, and I know you’ll be more than satisfied with the results!
• 3 inches long
• Premium rabbit hide, hand cut
• 6mm brass bead for weight and wing support
• Angel hair and flashiboo
• Lady amherst pheasant

The Evo Bunny Supreme is weighted enough to get the rabbit down - swims great. The fly is tied with weighted wire (.025 - .030). This is used to create an enlarged body that helps keep the rabbit wing swimming higher and off the hook to help prevent fouling - see photo. I've been working a long time playing with methods to do this. Here it is! Size: 2 - 2.5 inches Materials:
