Alevin Martinez
This fly is designed to fish when swung down-stream or stripped with short strips. Peak timing for this fly is February through June, focusing on the hatching salmon and then the steelhead. I tied this fly smaller to better represent the size of a real alevin but have evolved to this larger size because it catches more fish.
