Michigan Steelhead Fly… Afternoon Delight version by Phil Cusey
This is one of Phil Cusey's go-to steelhead patterns on the Muskegon River, though it would also work well on other rivers. A sharp looking and traditional pattern that is easy to tie. Phil only sent over the olive version but I can imagine this pattern producing well with a dark orange or black body.

***Materials listed in tying order
Hook… size 6 nymph, 2x strong
Tail… pheasant tail barbs, natural
Body… light olive 4 strand floss
