Summer Steelhead are pouring over Willamette Falls, all indications lead to a great year for our McKenzie and Willamette Steelhead runs. In this video Tony demonstrates how to tie a Purple Skunk. The Purple Skunk is an excellent Summer Steelhead pattern for the Deschutes and Umpqua as well as our local waters. The fly can be fished on a floating line or a variety of sinking tips using a down and across swing method.–CD
