Pink and orange are hot colors for bright days on British Columbia’s Lower Dean River. The Dean River Tiger gives anglers a ton of confidence as it is a proven fly with a solid reputation. Anglers often report 20lb + silver steelhead hitting this fly with reckless abandon. When the fish first enter the Lower Dean, they are fresh and aggressive. This George Cook steelhead pattern is unweighted and easy to cast. The grizzly hackles add a fishy look to the fly and the marabou keeps a tempting profile thanks in part to the fox hair wing. Just a little bit of flash is used on this shrimp pattern to catch a few glints of sunlight without turning this fly into a disco ball.
