Tony Torrence ties a gurgling and popping Bass/Snook/Tarpon fly pattern. The fly requires numerous steps but is very durable and active on the surface. If you decide to use the pattern in salt water try a saltwater hook like a a S12S Gamakatsu in larger sizes. The techniques for front portion of the fly can be adapted to many of your steelhead skater style patterns.
