Green Butt Skunk

In this video, our volunteer Fabio Malaspina shows you how to tie a "Green Butt Skunk". It was developed by Dan Callaghan sometime after 1950. He took the original Skunk steelhead fly and added the green butt.
Use this fly to target steelhead. You can dead drift under an indicator or swing it. Tie it on your tippet using a "non-slip knot" to give the fly more motion.
