How to tie the Summer Madness with Steve Cullen


Steve first came across this eye-catching pattern on Facebook, tied by fellow angler Gavin Jones. The buggy, scruffy profile immediately caught his attention; so much so that he reached out to Gavin for the recipe and a photo to share.

With its hairy, natural look, the Summer Madness is more than just a summer pattern. This pattern presents itself as a true all-season performer, capable of tempting fish throughout the year.

If you’re looking for something new to add to your fly box, this one’s well worth the bench time. Tie up a few, hit your local water, and see how it performs. You might have just discover your next go-to fly.
