Hawg Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 5wt. Full sinking line 7ips. The final one took an hour to catch but I wasn’t goin home without that round number haha. Missed eight. Not one rainbow. Caught one big ol shiner as well. They smacked it like a bass. No fish pics, kept the phone in a bag as it’s on its last leg. Wasn’t gone risk finishing it off unless I had a trophy 😁 Daryk Campbell Sr, Quillback, trouty mouth and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trouty mouth Posted March 1, 2023 Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 Looks like a good one. Can you give a breakdown on your materials? It looks like it could be quick to tie too. tjm and nomolites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T.J. Clarke Posted March 1, 2023 Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 Good job, did you hit the area right after stocking? Understand no pics. I do not have a smartphone, and by the time my digital camera came out the fish could be too weak. trythisonemv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmidwest Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Why would a meat eating fish need to have a crayfish? Good looking fly. I know they eat them all of the time, but there are only a few times when there is a hatch of them seems like. Then they turn off and start eating some little size 14 sow bug or a gnat to fill up their guts. Trout are a funny fish. trythisonemv 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

When your a predatory fish in a river, anything that moves is considered FOOD until it is proved otherwise. If there's a pretzel between me and a steak..... I'm likely to eat both. 🙂 Gavin, Hawg, fshndoug and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjm Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Good fly, does it have a pattern name? or are you up for a tutorial? shucks, even a materials list .... never mind; after I think about 30 fish is a lot of work. trythisonemv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
