What a great memory bump, Norm. Vickie and I used to fish those patterns a lot on the coastal rivers for Steelhead, but always managed quite a few Sea Run Cutthroat on them as well. Wonderful patterns, superbly dressed.

I have not pulled the trigger on buying that book yet, but your post has made my finger very itchy…

Wonderful tying Norm. You elevate simple fishing flies to Art. Great job.

Nice! The Skykomish Sunrise was probably the first steelie fly I learned to tie.
Simple and deadly. Well done.
