How to Tie the Curb Feeler | A Versatile Stinger Leech for Trout & Steelhead

Loon Outdoors: Today we are tying the Curb Feeler – a slender, hydrodynamic stinger leech pattern designed to ride hook-point down, push water, and trigger aggressive eats from both trout and steelhead. This fly blends elements of trout-spey and steelhead flies, featuring a keel-friendly build, subtle UV weight, a flowing tail, and silicone “curb feelers” that add movement and irritation. It is an excellent choice for swung presentations, soft water, or when fish are acting a little “trouty” in steelhead systems. We will walk through building the shank, attaching a stinger hook, adding flash and movement, and shaping a cone-style front that moves water and brings the fly to life.

 

 

Tie a few up, swing them with confidence, and see what happens.
