Tying The Halftime Prawn

NOTE: If you’re viewing this in a newsletter or a reader, click here to see the video on our website.

Looks like Jack is getting a little cabin fever down in Colorado. Fine with me, I’d much rather see a steelhead fly than a Pat’s Rubber Legs anyways!

“For many Rocky Mountain guides who tie their own flies, February marks the time of year when they would rather file their taxes than tie another Pat’s Rubber Legs. For me, this pattern in my current go-to to break up the monotony of preparing for the upcoming season. It wont show up on any list of ‘guide flies’ you might come across but it sure is fun to tie and looks great in the water. If, like me, you find yourself snowed in with a full stock of your favorite beverage, take a break from those size 24 RS2s and tie a few of these for your steelhead box.”
