The Yellow Raccoon
Skip Morris searun cutthroat flies...
...the Raccoon is Skip's standard choice for searun cutthroat, salmon and steelhead of the Pacific coast.

To find specific flies more easily at the Feather-Craft store, we've placed a link by each fly's description that will take you directly to that fly on Feather-Craft's site (see photos and descriptions of the flies below).
The following flies are Skip's original designs
and are tied by the Solitude Fly Company.
The sample flies in the photographs below were tied by Solitude.
This is Skip's standard choice for searun cutthroat trout in both the rivers and salt water of the Pacific Coast—yellow is the standard, but the other colors
are at times better.
Salmon in saltwater are also quick to grab a Raccoon. More and more Raccoons are fished for steelhead.
When silver salmon gather at river mouths to stage before running up to spawn, a Raccoon (for reasons no one understands) can often turn fish when
nothing else will.
