I recently found some UV responsive Trilobal Nylon, so I had to tie up a hot Steelhead fly to try this out...

A little sunshine should light up this comet. ;) It should also be a hit blending this fiber in some fur dubbing.

This looks like every girl I went out with in high school. Add in the requisite Boone's Farm...

There should be no reason for this fly not to catch a fish.
The second I saw it I was thinking pike and musky.
