Notes

A dry fly for summer run steelhead, adapted from Harry Lemire's Western Special grease liner, with a spun deer hair Grantham wing extension that keeps it floating without floatant. The author casts it straight out, lets it dead drift for twenty or thirty feet, then swings it on the drag to raise fish.
