Oh my, I hope some of you weren’t looking or something different? Before you leave though, admit that the curves of this hook and the enticing flare of the hackle lends itself a seductive quality that is not only pleasing to the tier, the fly fisher, but also the powerful Steelhead.
The Pink Panther (Jack Hagan, Portland, Oregon Pattern) here was tied on an Alex Jackson Spey Hook (Daiichi 2052 nickel). The Edge Bright abdomen positively glows. Dyed Guinea Fowl hackle lends color to the thorax area. A beautiful Steelhead pattern. Attraction, Excitation to provoke a response.

oh I absolutely agree, seductive and enticing on all counts! LOL and reminding me of my Dad who was an extraordinary fisherman, and brothers and nephew that tie flies

Have to declare an interest – when I was a child I went into hunting shop and bought a fish lure because I like it!
Great colours…

Beautiful photography. Is the back made of marabou?

Thank you. The tail is made of dyed hot pink Ostrich herl. It has some of the same qualities as Marabou but I think it is more durable for such a fly.
