Visit sourceAfter the salmon spawn and die, their flesh drifts downstream. Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden gorge on it like it is an all-you-can-eat buffet at the end of the world. This rabbit strip pattern in pale tan or pink imitates those drifting chunks of salmon. It is morbid, effective, and uniquely Alaskan. You are fishing with meat. Embrace it.
