Former OregonFlyFishingBlog.com Fly Tying Contest winner Chad Potter dropped by a box of gorgeous Summer Steelhead patterns. I was able to talk him into letting me photograph them and put them on the blog. Chad has a great style and uses natural fibers like Angora Goat, Grizzly Hackle Tips, Lady Amherst tail feathers, Pheasant Rump, Golden Pheasant Tippets, Guinea feathers, Saddle and Schlappen Hackles. All of these Summer Steelhead patterns are based on traditional proven fish catchers. When the water drops and you get tired of “hucking” intruders, MOAL leeches and Pick Yer Pockets give some of these lighter flies a swing through.–CD
