Sucker Spawn
This fly has produced some of the nicest fish we have ever caught! Big browns, Steelhead, and even Chinooks have been enticed by this Sucker Spawn imitation. In recent years, we have found it to also provide great success on Vermont's Northeast Kingdom Steelhead. Go ahead...see for yourself.
