ESTUARY BUGGER
In this tutorial, we’ll be going back in time to tie a traditional steelhead fly that is best used when fishing estuaries for winter steelhead and swinging in low and clear conditions.
BLOODY MARIA
DESCRIPTION
Jeff Ching’s Bloody Maria is one of the most effective patterns for targeting American Shad. This fly was developed on the American River in Sacramento, CA and can be swung, dead-drifted, jigged, twitched, and everything in between.
