The Undertaker originated as an Atlantic Salmon fly pattern and is now equally popular amongst steelhead anglers. It’s a great pattern to use on a floating line or clear sink tip on the Deschutes River in Summer and Fall. Tony demonstrates how to tie this great looking fly in the video above. Try it on your closest Steelhead water!
