A traditional northwest steelhead pattern.
How to Fish: Traditional wet-fly swing.
It was in 1938 when George McLeod of Seattle, at the request of his brother, tied this fly to celebrate the brilliant sunrise over the North Fork of Washington's mighty Skykomish River. The cheerful glow of the Skykomish Sunrise went on to become a staple pattern for Pacific steelhead. In the 1950's this fly enticed a fish of more than 29 pounds from the Kispiox River, a fly rod world record for the originator of the pattern, Mr. McLeod himself. |
