Steelhead Muddler (purple) |
|
| Hook: | TMC 300 #2-10 |
| Thread: | Black 3/0 |
| Body: | Metallic purple Krystal Flash |
| Underwing: | Dyed purple squirrel tail |
| Overwing: | Mottled dark brown turkey tail cut as tent shape |
| Throat: | Two turns of red Angora goat dubbing picked out to simulate bleeding |
| Head: | Spun and clipped elk hair sparse |
| This
is the purple version of the steelhead Muddler. It is fished in the same
manner as the green one. Another tactic to try with these
flies is the dead drift. Quarter your cast upstream, mend to get a dead
drift and then fish it out below you on the swing.
