The pattern for this fly came from the fine book by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen, Flies for Steelhead. They write that this fly was developed by Trey Combs who fishes with it successfully for winter steelhead in both clear and cloudy water. This is one of a series that includes the Winter Red and the Winter Rose.
