I’ve used this pattern on several Winter Steelhead runs in Oregon and it consistently attracts fish. The movement is natural and it casts smoothly without tangles. A reliable choice for cold water conditions.
Virginia Harris –
Felt like a real local favorite. It works well on the swing and doesn’t drag in the water. A bit lighter than other patterns, which helps with casting in windy conditions.

Caught three fish in a single session using this pattern. The action in the water is lifelike and it holds up well in cold streams. Definitely worth trying if you fish Winter Steelhead.
