This is another in the series of old standbyes. This fly was developed by Ken and George McLeod of Washington for fishing Washington waters, but it is also a very effective fly in British Columbia. It's listed in the handy streamside booklet, Pocket Guide to Fly Fishing for Steelhead, by Ron Cordes, as a good fly for medium to large streams; clear to colored water.
