Denver Rathbun from the Great Falls Fly Shop has had recent success using his Sookitdown Skater west of the divide. This highly visible pattern rides high on the water and creates a wake that triggers a predatory response in fish; large fish.
Materials:
• #8 Gamakatsu Salmon Hook
• Dyed blue deer hair
• Brown Crystal Flash
• 2mm Sheet Foam
This one has me intrigued. I’ve never seen anything like it which means I’ve got to try and tie some.
I think you should Howard!
