Tube Ska-Opper Wake fly
Here the famous Ska-Opper steelhead pattern devised by guide and steelheader Mr. Scott Howell… A modern wake designed to be fished in a popping stop and go motion… A must have pattern for steelhead anglers
We have designed this version together with steelhead anglers from BC – and endorsement from Mr. Scott Howell – and as many of our other wake flies it is tied on our Riffling hitch tube 3.2 millimetres
We know you’re going to enjoy fishing this pattern – it comes highly recommended.


Small version
This a 50 – 55 – millimetre version..or medium – Equivalent to a fly tied on a # 6 hook


Fish your fly with the hook up-side-down
Just like some anglers will fish the hook reversed on the Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler – they would also use this technique on their Ska-Opper – to do so in an easy and smart way you may use a so-called egg hook or up-eye hook– as seen fitted on the fly in the image to the left. The up-eye hook will enable you to get a different angle on the hook and the low-memory medium soft tubing the Ska-Opper is tied on, is well suited to accommodate such a fly fishing method.
