Notes
The Popsicle is a marabou steelhead fly from the Alaskabou series, fished for winter steelhead using the traditional down and across approach. Phil Rowley fishes it on a type 4 or 5 density sink tip with a leader of 4 feet or less, and holds back slightly through the drift and swing to animate the marabou. It collapses in swift water, so it suits moderate currents.
