Had some time on my hands and a new Silver badger Brahma hackle form the Valley Forge show just sitting there calling me.

So....for you Classic Low Water Steelhead Fans out there....Now, if only I could get back to the Northwest to fish it!!

Nice and sweet. That is great pattern, I got some tied nearly like that also and it catches trouts though.

Beautiful! Well done!

Flyfish Dog.....I've found a number of steelhead patterns to do extremely well on trout when downsized. Many of the old classics.

I agree! I have been tying smallish tubes classic streamers for trout and steelies with even better result.

A very tasty fly, that Brahma hackle would make a nice Matuka wing.

Classy!! If you want to send some to the NW here I'll sure to give them a proper testing for you

Thanks Mr. NJTB. This is the last one from last year, nice little "hott" native. They'll be back soon and I'll get that pic for you!

Luckie88....nice fish! They should be there soon

Thankyou, just received them today when I got back from my trip! Wonderful ties can't wait to give them a good swing!
