Boxcar

So, what do you do when you haven't tied in a while? Tie some random Steelhead pattern of course.

"Boxcar" size 4
Tail: Red hackle
Tag: Gold tinsel
Body: Peacock herl
Wing: White calf tail
Hackle: A barred variant that was laying on my desk, but it should be Brown hackle

Looks good.

Thank you.

I'm thinking that if you added some lead wraps under the peacock for weight, change the wing to yellow hair, and change the front hackle to red, this would be a killer bass pattern...
