Emerald Shanker

This is a great baitfish / minnow pattern for steelhead. Tied on a Partridge Waddington Shank this intruder and scandi inspired pattern can be tied in a few variations, but I prefer the unweighted and fished on a sink tip. A great Steelhead or smallmouth bass fly.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
