In this video, author Jay Nicholas ties a Deschutes Steelhead Yak Muddler.
Skating flies for summer steelhead on the Deschutes River is what it’s all about. Having a steelhead take your fly on the surface (or just below) is what anglers from around the world try each year on the D. The fish target the fly and with force, crush it! Not just for use on the D…
Tie some up and get out there and skate/swing them up.
