I'm curious as to the source of this pattern. My first Snake River steelhead was on a Lady Godiva that wasn't even close to this pattern (nice tie, btw), I think the Lady Godiva I fished was from a pattern I made up and tied with pink dyed polar bear hair (trying to recollect a fly I tied 30 some years ago?).

Three months from now it will be so different from the icy mess this morning. Frogs hopping and bass biting.

The lady Godiva was 1st Introduced by Ralph Olsen about 1936. The fly I tied is a slight variant as the original had no throat and the body was tied with seal's fur and not floss like I have here. Olsen also tied a alternate with everywhere you see red in the Lady Godiva is was tied with orange.
The pattern your describing sounds like maybe it was a Indian Summer pattern by Walt Johnson
