Fly of the Week #22

Keeping with the theme of steelhead flies, here is another attempt at one. The hook is covered with a tinsel and yellow thread base. Over that we have hot orange spey hackle in back, yellow marabou in front of that, and a guinea collar. There are a few strands of flashabou tied in as well.

This fly has already caught a fish. Not a steelhead, but your average rainbow latched on to it. Swung through the river with some tugs here and there to pulse the marabou seemed to do the trick.
