The Jock Scott Steelhead Fly is a modern adaptation of the traditional Jock Scott Salmon fly, designed specifically for steelhead fishing. This fly retains the essence of the original with its vibrant and contrasting colors but incorporates more durable and accessible materials to withstand the rigors of steelhead fishing. The Jock Scott Steelhead Fly is versatile and highly effective in a variety of water conditions, making it a favorite among anglers targeting these hard-fighting fish. Its bright coloration and flowing profile make it an excellent attractor pattern in both clear and stained waters.
Pro Tip
Fish the Jock Scott Steelhead Fly on a swing in moderate to fast currents, allowing the fly's vibrant colors and movement to entice strikes. Focus on deep pools, seams, and tailouts where steelhead hold. Adjust your sink tip or leader length to keep the fly in the strike zone, and experiment with slower retrieves during colder water conditions when fish are less aggressive.
