Tying this one for the fly box for steelies this fall/winter.
This was going to be my swap fly for the now defunct steelhead fly swap.

Its a modernized old english pattern tied on an AJ hook size 3

There is a nice video youtube for anyone interested in tying some up.

That's no sparkle maggot, of that I am sure, but not dissimilar to
ones that I use, minus the dumbbell eyes. When and if you redo the swap maybe you could call it the S and S streamer swap. It's also
the sport jacket type I was referring to in an earlier thread. Bird fur?

S & S??

Not dumbbell eyes either, just a finished head, stick on 3D eyes and UV cure resin

Throat is red fox fur, Wing i silver fox dyed black.

Salmon and steelhead, crimp the barb for use, you heathen.
