That is awesome!

I bet it would also work great tied as a dry on a dead drift or dapping. Nice work.

Boilermaker 1080.JPG


Boilermaker

Andrew Grillos

Hook - Single salmon
Thread - Black
Tip - Oval silver tinsel
Tail - Golden pheasant tippets
Butt - Chartreuse yarn
Back - Black foam strip
Ribbing - Oval silver tinsel
Body - Black yarn or dubbing (body = 1/2 shank length)
Wing case - Black foam strip
Hackle - Black or brown
Thorax - Black wool or dubbing
Head - Black foam from the wing case
Sighter - White foam strip

The Green Butt Skunk is arguably the most common and recognizable steelhead fly ever created. The Boilermaker is basically a foam Green Butt Skunk waking fly for steelhead. This fly is named The Boilermaker because when you’re skating flies for steelhead, you’re hoping for a fish to boil on your fly. This guy is easy to cast and pushes a nice little V wake.
