Skunk — Green Butt / Classic Steelhead Wet Fly
The Green Butt Skunk is one of the most iconic and enduring steelhead patterns ever tied. A variation of the classic Skunk, this version adds a bright green butt that acts as a hot spot trigger — drawing attention and inducing strikes from steelhead that might otherwise ignore a more subdued presentation. The bold black and white profile creates a high-contrast silhouette that fish can track in any water condition, while the salmon hook construction gives you the strength and gap needed to handle hard-running steelhead. Swung through a run on a tight line, it's as deadly today as it was when the pattern was first developed.
