The Morrish Hitched Tube Skater was built for anglers who want a surface fly that tracks better across a wider range of water speeds. Many traditional skaters will dip, dive, or lose their track, especially in faster current. North American anglers have often relied on riffle hitching to help keep a fly up, but that approach can distort the pattern, create awkward pull angles, and leave the fly less fishable after use.

OVERVIEW
Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian and Icelandic hitched tube designs, this pattern blends proven tube-fly function with modern Western steelhead style. The 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 with a louder, chugging presentation. Light, easy to cast, and highly adaptable, the Hitched Tube Skater lets you fish a lively, active surface swing with more control than many standard waking flies.
Because it is a tube fly, you can also match the hook to your fishery, presentation, and local regulations by sizing up or down as needed. The result is a versatile summer steelhead pattern that excels in fast water, skitters with a light active look, and gives anglers another effective way to show fish something different on the surface.
