This fly has steelhead written all over it! Excellent combination of materials.

PS - I like the top photo the best. I like seeing your tying desk as the backdrop.

Not really a fan of pink...

Just kidding! One of my favourite springtime brookie streamers is basically a size 10 white woolly bugger with a tail exactly the colour of the pink in your fly. I don't usually fish woolly buggers, this is the exception. Nice fly.

Oh and don't expect to see me on the river in pink! :lol:

you could also catch various Salmon with that.....and Bows, Brown Trout..........Dolly Varden........and Artic Char........Largemouth, Smallies, White Bass, Wipers, Pike, Pickeral, Walleye, Panfish, and also various Saltwater species.....all would most likely take it, depending on size, and presentation.............fish are a lot less particular than we like to think.....not to mention....."they gotta eat" :D
