This has worked well in Michigan , and as of today, it killed them in the Erie tribs
A little labor intensive but worked well!

I saw this pattern a few years ago and tied up a few. I was very surprised when I was fishing stained water on
Elk Creek and hooked up with a large female steelhead. It was on a size 16!

I like the shrimp flies. They work most of the time.

OP, yours looks very nice. Good Job!

I know mysis shrimp aren't present in Erie tributaries, but do you think that the steelhead think it resembles the spiny water flea that is rampid in lake Erie? Anyone have a pattern for one of those?

You know , I don't have a pattern for the flea but I think if this were "tied down" 14/16 I know it will work, I fished this pattern in 14's and rocked them @ Elk, but on any given day that could change. I've fished green caddis one day(rocked them) and next day was a no go kind of thing. Most likely presentation and the right conditions contribute to all of our success

Good ol' Herb was the first (or one of) to create such a pattern for GL steel.

Steelhead are dumb, or there are a lot of them, so there's bound to be a dumb one. That said, I've caught them in Michigan/Indiana river systems where no shrimp exist. They're just dumb duuds.
