Tying a Simple Winter Steelhead Shrimp Fly

This a short fly tying video where Orvis Portland Store manager Adam McNamara demonstrates how to tie a simple winter steelhead shrimp fly. It is a versatile pattern that can be altered easily by changing the colors of the materials in the fly's recipe to customize the fly to your preference. Also don't be afraid to use something other than rabbit fur like Finn Raccoon Zonkers, but make sure you still follow the proportions of the fly in the video. Happy Tying!
