The Scorpion Stinger

The Scorpion Stinger is a distinctive steelhead fly pattern crafted by Aqua Flies, renowned for their high-quality traditional summer steelhead flies. Designed to mimic small baitfish, this fly features a compact profile with a trailing stinger hook, enhancing hook-setting efficiency. Its unweighted design makes it ideal for waters where weighted flies are prohibited, such as Oregon's North Umpqua River. The Scorpion Stinger is available in various color combinations, including Peacock and Blue, catering to diverse fishing conditions.

Shadow Drift Technique: Deploy the Scorpion Stinger in shaded river sections during midday, where steelhead often seek refuge. Its subtle profile and movement can entice strikes from fish holding in these cooler, low-light areas.
