The Sunday Special Steelhead Tube Fly Tying Video and Recipe

The Sunday Special is the type of fly I fish with a lot of confidence. It has bold vibrant colours, a whole bunch of movement and a healthy amount of flash that triggers big, big bites. It has a large enough profile that it will stand out in coloured water but isn’t so over the top that it would make it ineffective in clearer water conditions. A sturdy hook is a must on this fly, the take won't be subtle!
