Steelhead Hairwing Flies
Hairwing flies are a standard for Pacific Northwest waters where steelhead are present. They are adaptations of East Coast and European Atlantic Salmon flies. Using hair from various animals (bucktails, fox, skunk, squirrel and others), PNW tiers found that these commonly located materials made excellent wings with lots of action and flow.
