Caught several steelhead on a summer morning using the Freight Train fly. It floats well and mimics the natural look of a bright day pattern. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Benjamin Sanderson –
Works well in clear rivers. The design is simple but effective. I’ve used it multiple times and it consistently attracts fish during daylight hours.
Simon Wilson –
Highly recommended for west coast anglers. The fly matches the natural behavior of steelhead and stays on the surface without sinking too quickly.
