This is another great fly for fishing in low and clear conditions for summer steelhead, and is one of our best selling Deschutes flies. A variation on the Green Butt Skunk, this is a subtle fly that packs a big punch. Guide: Pete Field (2026) - It is going to be a low water year for summer steelhead and sparse flies will be key. This is one of the best flies for coaxing a summer steelhead up to the top in low clear water is this purple green butt. The thin body draws attention routinely from summer steelhead. In a one fly contest for dry line steelhead this would be my choice. Travis (Owner) was asked one day, if he could only carry a handful of flies for steelhead/trout, what would they be. What would he grab on the way out the door not knowing the river, or conditions? Low Water Purple Green Butt Skunk #5 made the list. Note: This handcrafted fly may contain ethically sourced natural materials such as deer hair, elk hair, or rabbit fur. It is designed specifically for steelhead fly fishing.
