Tail - Fluorescent red floss or multiple strands of glo brite #3 floss
Ribbing - Purple crystal chenille

There are various recipes for the steelhead fly.
My dyeing skills on the purple calf tail leaves a lot to be desired.
It just came out a lighter shade than I wanted.
Step 1? Is the cylinder split? Do you drill or prep a hole to run the hook through? Barbed end first? Is that head store bought? Pre-painted?
What other questions can I ask? What hook is that? ;-)
Armed for tomorrow’s hopper (gurgler) / dropper fishing.

All these fancy new colors and they’ll still prefer whiteThe new, improved, with fewer components than ever, clarkman bassy baitfish special.
probably, I've only fished white and chartreuse....got a couple on chartreuse. Of course, then I had to change to something else to see how it did....All these fancy new colors and they’ll still prefer white

Sweet fly...I use very similar flies a huge percentage of time on difficult trout...big slow moving rivers and lakes. I've never dubbed the after shaft I am going to try that...I have used them down to #22 for Tricos. BTW on the #20 and smaller I skip the wing.Aftershaft Callibaetis Emerger
