The Leland team recently sat down with Scott Howell for a discussion about the history, design, uses and effectiveness of several of his innovative fly patterns. Scott's decades of fishing and guiding experience have led to some revolutionary and extremely effective flies. The Ska-opper is an unconventional “steelhead popper” that elicits extremely aggressive responses from steelhead – even in water previously “off limits” to surface flies. After our conversation, we joined Scott out on the water where we witnessed first-hand the effectiveness of the Ska-hopper. Whether you've caught a hundred steelhead or none, you've never seen anything like a nice hot fish coming up to take a Ska-opper!
