I started tying and using this fly in 2006 for winter run steelhead; I have caught numerous winter steelhead with this fly. You can call it a Cerise Lifter or a Hot Pink Lifter, the materials are the same either way!

Beautiful, bright winter steelhead caught on the Hot Pink Lifter on 5 January 2006. You can clearly see the lifter in this fish's mouth.

Another winter steelhead caught on the Hot Pink Lifter, caught 22 January 2007. You can see the lifter on the rocks next to the fish.

This 15 pound plus native steelhead took a Hot Pink Lifter on 24 January 2007. You can see the lifter in this fish's mouth.

This bright Coho took a Hot Pink Lifter on 3 October 2007. You can see the lifter in this fish's mouth.
