I.S.D.

Here's a little fly that I dressed with Summer Steelhead season in mind - it's called the I.S.D. - short for Improvised Steelhead Device.

Gorgeous fly! If that is "improvised" I would surely like to see one you "planned".

 

Your fly rocks buddy! :headbang:

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks very much for the kind words!

 

The fly really is improvised in that I wanted to combine the elements of a hair-winged fly and have the movement of a (modern) Marabou Spey,...plus I was able to use some of the scraps on my tying table.

 

The next variant will be thinned out a little using some some boffo purple Rhea I copped from Jack Cook and winged with peacock or Mallard.

Thank God it is not an I.E.D.

Great fly. This one will surely be very alive in the water and I like that dirty little orange head.

:thumbsup:

Jens,

 

Sometimes it takes a 'dirty little orange head' to get a reluctant Steelie to the fly - and the way my luck runs I'll try just about anything!

 

Didn't Roy Angus Thompson once conduct an informal experiment that supported his thinking that a Salmonid will take a fly with a red-varnished head over a black one?
