Morlock's Steelhead Ammo
I really never had a name for this pattern until tonight when I needed to post it on the site. I have been tying and successfully using this pattern for over ten years.
It is simply a shortened Woolly Bugger, a pattern that looks about like anything… bushy and buggy. It is a four material fly and flies off the vise. I tie then in unlimited colors, bright if I’m planning on dirty water or natural for clear conditions.
Best For… steelhead Could Also Be Used For… salmon and trout
***Materials listed in tying order
Hook… TMC 105, size 4-6
Eyes… medium bead chain
Tail… marabou
Body… sparkle yarn
Hackle… pheasant (or other hackle of choice)
