NOTES: The fly was transformed from one of the Steelhead patterns, which has been kindly provided by tier Tanya Rooney from Portland, Oregon. The fly took so many Silver salmon, that I lost interest fishing with it while on a fishing trip to the Kolpakova River (Kamchatka) last year. It worked best on sinking lines. Flies tied on a 1 inch plastic tube require more attention to hook size, because the hook keeps the fly in the right position for the take. Too heavy a hook may affect the silhouette of the fly while you fish with it in slow water.
