The time of year, they drop the flows on the Rogue, and the water is not too cold yet, so I like to switch to spey flies on a floating line instead of nymphs for steelhead.

This is one of my favorite speys's to tie, a simple but effect fly, I call the orange spey. The longer mallard flank seems to make the fly have good movement. I tend to always make the mallard long on my speys.
