A very popular shank fly that is very effective for Steelhead, and all five Pacific Salmon, Char, Sea-Run Browns as well as Atlantic Salmon. 3" long overall, unweighted and perfect for swinging in low, clear water. Jeff Hickman designed the Fish Taco Spey fly specifically for Steelhead and Salmon. When Jeff Hickman gets hungry he thinks of one of his favorite things to eat - fish tacos. This Chartreuse Fish Taco has Blue highlights giving it some special sause.

A custom tied skating surface pattern that floats and wakes across the river for Steelhead fishing on the surface. Fly is tied with Golden Brown Deer hair for tail with orange flashabou underneath, then spun Elk hair for body with Deer collar and wing, finished with foam wing case. Choice of hooks that come with this fly - see selection below. Two sizes: Medium - for most occasions Large - Off color water and heavier ripples. (Tube Flies - leader/tippet goes thru the tube and is tied to the eye of the hook, then inserted into orange hook holder on tube. For surface flies this is an advantage as tubes float and helps the waking of the fly. Plus hooks can be changed.)  Made in the USA by Jeff Layton

With many years of intense searching for these anadromous business partners, I have found tying my skaters on a 60° hook has had the most success. The fly skates, pops and gurgles, making it hard for fish to resist. The Hanger is easy to cast and will pop well due to the tail end of the fly being weighed down by the hook. This keeps the legs down and the foam up for that iconic pop. Greatest of all are most of the fish hooked on the 60° jig hook are landed. Black and blue for those early morning dawn patrols and over cast days, orange for bright fish, and white for that 12 O’clock lunch fish when everyone’s taking a nap.

A Grablies original - a cross between a Bugger Leech and a Montana Nymph. I like to swing flies - always have. Even when I trout fish, I would swing nymphs and or do a full swing with a mend when the fly was a cross from me. When I was Twelve I read "The Trout Fisherman's Bible, by Ray Bergman" I practiced the full drift, long before indicators (which I don't use). What I'm getting at - fishing this fly. It is a nymph over half of the drift, and then when I mend and it swings it is a Bugger then. This fly is good for Steelhead and large Trout. Great lakes Steelhead, and Browns, Pacific Northwest Steelhead, BC Steelhead, and Tierra del Fuego...
Marabou tail, Ringneck Pheasant dyed Black Wing Case. Tied on a AHREX NS110 Streamer Hook, Size 6 - very sharp, quality hook.
