Jim Sens joins us back at Caddis Fly to bind an efficient summer season steelhead pattern. Our guides and fellow steelhead lovers all swear by this fly– it’s simply among those flies all steelhead fishers ought to have in their box. The green butt silver hilton can be fished all year, however it shines for summer season steelhead throughout the summer season and into the fall as winter season takes its hold.
Jim ties the wing of this fly in with Ewing Grizzly since it’s an excellent, webby product for all steelhead and intruder-style flies. When you have this fly down, do not hesitate to mess around with various ranges of tinsel for the butt and rib area.
