Skunk — Red Butt / Classic Steelhead Wet Fly
The Red Butt Skunk is a time-tested variation of the iconic Skunk steelhead pattern, dressed with a bright red butt that adds a hot spot trigger to the classic black and white profile. Red is one of the most proven trigger colors for steelhead — it draws attention and induces strikes from fish that might pass on a more subdued fly. Tied on a salmon hook for the strength and gap needed to handle hard-running steelhead, this pattern is built to be swung on a tight line through the best water on any coastal or inland steelhead river.
