I keep the tail a little longer on this fly for added movement. Be sure and check the fly periodically to ensure the feathers haven’t fouled on the hook bend.Although swinging flies for fall steel head is becoming more popular, don’t overlook stripping streamers as well! (Especially when your river is busy or the sun is out) The Fall Thumper can be swung or stripped. Good luck!
