The Green Butt Skunk is the most popular summer steelhead fly in the Northwest.
Traditional wet-fly swing. If the water temperature is below 52 degrees, consider using a sink-tip line with a 4-6 foot leader.
There well have been more summer Steelhead caught on a Skunk, or Green Butted Skunk fly pattern that any other single pattern around. A must in every Steelhead Fly Fishermen's Fly box.

A modified design of the Silver Hilton. Tied on a 2051 Alec Jackson Black Spey Hook, Size 3 with enough head room to tie a Riffle Hitch for Skating.
You can fish this fly wet or near the surface - waking in and out of the surface film, or on top. The head is black spun deer belly hair, but not too much that it can't be fished wet. Just the right about to do both surface or sub surface. Two color patterns - select below.
