Undertaker Variation – Kevin Hospodar
featured, Fly Patterns, Videos — By Kevin Hospodar on January 10, 2016 9:45 amA variation of the Undertaker steelhead fly. The Undertaker’s origins are as an Atlantic Salmon fly, but it has been adopted as a proven summer steelhead fly. This version is a bit closer to the Undercoach (Marty Howard’s mash up of the the Undertaker and Steelhead Coachman). I’ve swapped out for a black wing and pheasant rump for the hackle.
Hook – Partridge CS16U/1B sz6
Tag – Small silver oval
Body 1 – chartreuse
Body 2 – Red
Body 3 – Peacock
Rib – Small silver oval
Hackle – Pheasant rump
Wing – Black Bucktail

Looks like a great pattern. Ever tried it on trout?
A great time tested pattern, its become a staple in many salmon / steelhead anglers fly boxes.
Needless to say, great tutorial
