Steelhead Flies, Agitators
We have steelhead in our local rivers year round. Many return during the coldest months of December, January and February. Average water temperatures are
36 - 42 
degrees. At these temperatures, steelhead will bite, but won't move far for a fly. To make matters more challenging the rivers are often very high and sometimes off color. The Agitator Series evolved over the years to cope with early winter conditions. These flies have lead eyes for maximum sink rate, are compact for easy casting and densely colored for maximum visibility. The soft flowing materials employed create a maximum of movement. Agitators are designed to get deep in a hurry. These flies also work well when the water is warmer.

Agitator Black & Red
Black and red is a winning combination any time of year. On our local rivers it is a good choice in the spring for early summer steelhead and spring Chinooks.  This is a great fly design for picking the pocket water where you have to get deep in a hurry.

Agitator Pink & Orange
This is a favorite early winter fly everywhere in the Pacific Northwest.  It seems to be most productive when the water is very cold.  Of course this is the condition that drives steelhead into deep water where a heavily weighted fly is most useful.
