Tri Ash Husker
This is one of my favorite patterns.. The steelhead seem to love it and the sea run cutthroat and smaller smolts won’t leave it alone. I have to take it off sometimes to keep the smaller fish from bugging me… It has flashabou for the upper wing and the rubber legs for animation. In clear…
Olympic Peninsula, Forks, Washington
Travelled to Forks for a fishing trip on the Olympic Peninsula. There are 5 great rivers around Forks, all famous for their steelhead, salmon, and searun cutthroat trout.
