If I were limited to one pattern for steelhead fishing this would be it. This fly was derived from Rick Kustich’s bunny spey and the color combination was the idea of Tom Cornell. Tom was a well-known steelhead guide when he lived in Western New York. He now lives and guides in Montana.
Hook: Alec Jackson, nickel finish.
Rib: Red wire
Body: Purple dubbing.
Collar: Purple hackle under natural guinea.
Wing: White rabbit strip tied in matuka style with the red wire rib.
Head: Red
