Thread: Need recipe for Train Wreck steelhead fly

    Default Need recipe for Train Wreck steelhead fly

    Anybody know this one?? We were advised this was one of "the hot" flies for the Situk River. Can't find it anywhere.
    Cabela's ( believe it or not ) have an assortment they sell and it's listed but it's not id'd in the big picture shown.
    Appreciate any help here.....

    Kewl fly! But what is org/blk? Black organza? Try a fabric center (JoAnns comes to mind) and check the wedding section! You'll be absolutely amazed at what you can find in there!!

    Looks like guinea to me too, but I know Mike, I'll just ask him and get back to you.
