The Hitched Tube Skater was designed to solve a problem many skaters struggle with: staying on the surface and tracking properly in a wide range of water speeds. Traditional skaters can dip or dive, and the faster the current gets, the more likely they are to go under. North American anglers have often relied on riffle hitching to help keep a fly up, but that can distort the pattern, create awkward pull angles, and leave the fly looking rough after just one use.

OVERVIEW
Inspired by Scandinavian and Icelandic hitched tube designs, the Hitched Tube Skater blends proven tube-fly function with modern Western steelhead style. A single belly hitch hole keeps rigging simple and helps the fly skate cleanly in faster water, while the front nose hole gives anglers the option to move more water and fish it with a louder chugging presentation. The result is a light, easy-casting surface fly that offers more control, more versatility, and a very lively skittering action.
Because it is a tube fly, anglers can also choose the hook that best fits their fishery, presentation, and local regulations, sizing up or down as needed. Whether you want to fish faster water, show steelhead a lighter active surface pattern, or chug a fly across classic summer runs, the Hitched Tube Skater brings a smart, effective twist to modern steelhead skating.
