Looking thru my website you will see many variations and evolution of this fly. This is my latest, 2-18-2021.

Then Holographic Flashabou, Marabou, Grizzly feathers, and then black cross cut rabbit collar, finished with Flashabou and barred Voodoo fibers. Like the Neo Skagit Leech, but tied with Rabbit, Marabou, and Ostrich.

This fly was tweaked from "Evo Mini" with the addition of the egg fireball and a few other changes. EVO Fireball Bug a great all season Steelhead fly. This fly can be casted easily. | ev·o·lu·tion noun noun: evolution; plural noun: evolutions 1. 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.

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well. The tried and True Mother of all Leeches. The classic Strung Out MOAL (Mother of all Leeches) is the one thst started it all. Invented by Derek Fergus is is one heck of a pattern. These really are a pattern you need if you hunt Steelhead. Because we use a Octopus hook the short shank holds fish far better allowing more fish to hand. Because it is tied on a string (gel spun) the fly tends to wiggle and swim in the current. Specially swinging them.
Size 2 trailing hook - 2.5 - 3" long (custom flies tied with bead heads)
Also see Summer Moal Leeches, 2 1/4 inches (Click Here) The Moal Leech catches Steelhead in all conditions. Add it to your fly box. You will never look back. "I wanted to thank you for your fast service and a great product. I have
been fly fishing for over forty years and have caught hundreds of trout and
salmon and even a few bonefish but I had never caught a steelhead on a fly
before last weekend. With my fifth cast of your black and purple MOAL into
a nice Clackamas riffle I hooked and landed a small hatchery summer hen. I
attached a picture although it doesn't show the fly too well (my hands were
still shaking)." - Paul Boucher

HoBo Spey - custom tied by Grabflies using quality (best) materials: A great time tested and proven Steelhead pattern. Black and blue is money for Steelhead. HoBo has lots of movement in soft water because of the Marabou. Grabflies ties this pattern with a dubbing ball before Intruder Prop hackle and then black Marabou. This stops the Marabou from collapsing flat, but instead gives the fly shape and movement. Also see Fish Taco (click here)

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 is a smaller version of the Neo Skagit Leech. It is not a mini, hence the name bijou, smaller, elegant version. It is tied on a FS SENYOS ARTICULATED SHANK 25MM BLACK and is lightly weighted with some 1.5 inches of medium lead wire wrapped around short shank (this is needed for all the materials, weighted enough to make it swim optimally, great movement). Fly is 2 inches, long but with some trailing material may drag it out to 2.5 inches. Stinger - trailing hook extends back with mono. Hook can be replaced. Size 2 Owner SSW hook. This is a slow tie, I can only tie about two an hour. See Neo Skagit Leeches (Click Here)

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:

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well. The tried and True Mother of all Leeches. The classic Strung Out MOAL (Mother of all Leeches) is the one thst started it all. Invented by Derek Fergus is is one heck of a pattern. These really are a pattern you need if you hunt Steelhead. Because we use a Octopus hook the short shank holds fish far better allowing more fish to hand. Because it is tied on a string (braid, 20 lb, doubled over) the fly tends to wiggle and swim in the current. Specially swinging them.
Size 2 trailing Owner hook - 2.5" - 3" long (custom flies tied with bead heads)

When fly fishing for Coho look for backwater with slow current, particularly in Alaska . Cast RIO's Hare Snare into the mix, let it sink into the zone, then retrieve the fly so it jigs up and down on the way back to you - Don't overlook this fly for winter steelhead or for the big boys in Tierra Del Fuego. Size 1 hook

Marabou Tail Bugger by Grabflies, (Mother Of All Leeches) Fish love Rabbit and Marabou, and Woolly Buggers, but this fly has more movement as the fly is tied and glued on braid line for flexibility and swimming movement. The tail section has a small poly hook holder where the Marabou is tied. Hook holder also allows for rotation of the hook if needed.
Fly is 2.5 long, Size #2 SSW Owner Stinger/Bait style hook that easily hooks, and when barbless easily releases fish without much harm. Note: Photo, Bead is hot Orange Great for Steelhead, Great Lakes Steelhead, BC Steelhead...

The Woolly Bugger is the most recognizable, and likely the most commonly fished streamer fly ever tied. The woolly bugger attracts fish in fast or slow water, rivers, ponds, and lakes, in dirty water or spring creeks. It imitates crayfish, minnows, sculpin, leeches, and many other natural foods trout love.
White Woolly Buggers represents bait fish, minnows, shiners, so they're great for meat eatting Trout like Browns, Bull Trout, Big Rainbow Trout, Great lakes Steelhead, Bass, Pike, Tierra Del Fuego... I tie this bugger with long white soft Schlappen hackle - good movement in the water and fills in for the body of a minnow.
Tied on a AHREX NS110 Streamer Hook, Size 4 - very sharp, quality hook. Six flies in stock - ready to ship.
