The Green Butt Skunk is arguably the most common and recognizable steelhead fly ever created. The Boilermaker is basically a foam Green Butt Skunk waking fly for steelhead. This fly is named The Boilermaker because when you’re skating flies for steelhead, you’re hoping for a fish to boil on your fly. This guy is easy to cast and pushes a nice little V wake.
