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.
