Today’s Steelhead fly tying video is a fly we really like in the Summer and Fall Months. The Blue Fox Variant is a cross between The Editor and a Blue Fox Lure. Steelhead love it and will move towards the surface to take it on a down and across swing. The Pearl Flashabou over floss body looks killer when wet.
