There's a secret fly for the hatchery outlet ?   🤭

Yes that would be whatever hits the water just prior to the guy fishing beside you.

Sometimes if I'm doing well at RR a guy will ask what I'm using, which I show and get the comment "I never saw anything like that before" or "what's that called?" I just shrug and say "bait"

And y'all call ME a jackass ?  😂

See, I'm not intimate enough with those fly things as to name them, just bits of feather and such wrapped up on a hook. Don't copy many patterns and chance are don't have another like it.

I learned that "bait" thing here.

I rarely tie anymore. Might do 3-5 dozen a year. I only use a couple flies that I cant buy a mile away at Hargrove’s. Used to tie 100+ dozen a year. Still have big Plano boxes full of em.

They were keeping it a secret from me.Not sure where Laker came up with the material-thinking maybe an auction or rummage sale. The secret fly he's talking about that took all those browns has appeared in several fly fishing magazines over the years. And it has worked well on some big trout.

There was a discussion once way back when on 'suggestive" patterns. With my skills at the vise, my scuds are suggestive at best. But I can tie several in a short period of time. Pick out the best looking ones and head to the creek.

I assumed Sandy got the best looking flies and you got the "2nds".
