The Smokehouse Spade was originated and tied by contributing tyer, Scott Howell of Bothell, WA. See his notes below.
SCOTT'S NOTES: This original fly was inspired by the sights and colors of Big Al's Texas BBQ in Bothell WA. Although tied on a whim, it proved to be an effective dark day and transition pattern for Summer steelhead and Coho.
