Developed by Alaskan guide George Cook in the early 1980’s, this fly is one of a series of flies he calls the Alaskabou series. The origin of this fly came out of necessity. Supposedly, Cook was running out of fly tying supplies and used what he had left over (marabou) to make this fly. This fly has proved to be a very successful winter run fly and is still extensively used on most winter steelhead rivers. Hook: Up eye Atlantic salmon hook Body: None. Wing: Cerise marabou surrounding the hook. Topping: Purple flashabou Collar: Purple marabou. Head: Fluorescent red.
