Description
The Pick Yer Pocket, designed by Alaskan and Washington State guide Brian Kite, is a steelhead fly pattern inspired by the Intruder style but distinguished by its smaller size and sparser materials. Kite's design utilizes hackle tips and Lady Amherst fibers to create a lifelike profile that effectively entices steelhead, particularly in clear-water conditions. The fly's construction allows for versatility in various water conditions, making it a reliable choice for anglers targeting steelhead year-round.
Pro Tip
Micro Pulse: In slow-moving waters, impart gentle, rhythmic pulses to the fly by subtly twitching the rod tip, simulating the natural movement of prey and enticing hesitant steelhead.
