Name Night Owl

Category Winter Steelhead

Hook Salmon, Size 2

Thread Black

Tag Flat Silver Tinsel, Tied Long

Butt Two Turns of Red Chenille

Body Flat Silver Tinsel

Wing White Bucktail

Hackle Orange Saddle or Bucktail

Note: This pattern is listed in Mel Marshall's, Steelhead, Copyright 1973 as one of the top two dozen Winter Steelhead flies to be counted on. He writes, that Night Owl seems to have no appeal when tied in smaller than a #2, but has proved irresistible in that size. This fly can also be tied non-optic style, without the eyes.
