Tied this little krill thing this morning (as seen in "what's in your vise") and it produced on the 2nd cast!
What's Catching You Fish?

Brian -Nice fish….and gloves.

It was really cold and at times quite windy; I didn't have to put fingerless wool gloves over the nitriles very often. Keeping the "W" off bare hands is a huge help (and then there's the pinky factor). ;-)
Nice looking fly, and fish!
The October dressed bird of prey has been a top producer recently.

Seems several years ago I was posting I wasn't much of a streamer fisherman and really hadn't caught much on them. Still not sure I'm much of a streamer fisherman, but I do have enough confidence to throw streamer(ish) stuff all day now. Started with a jiggy craw,
and finished the day fishing a classic conehead white marabou muddler.

All three caught fish but the burgundy BMW, even after most of the tail was gone, was money.
Nothing BIG, most were 10" - 14" with one at 17". It was 41°F and windy. I thought I had enough layers to be warm, nope. I really like the heated steering wheel and seats after a COLD day lakeside.
I enjoyed those features for the first time yesterday. While it was nice at points it was nasty like this at times too.

Shout out to Clarkman for giving me a bag of his giant musky flies. Randy, you told me to try them for bull trout, and I always (seldom) do as I'm told. 
You can't see the fly very well in this picture but it is a massive walking, twitching, darting monster that did the trick.
This was by far the fattest bull I've ever seen. It looked like a triploid.
Thanks Randy!

What a pig. That fish deserves it's own post, honestly. With deets about where it was and how it ate and what rock you stood on and such....
Congrats man. That's a fish of a lifetime in my book.

Looks like some place in Oregon.

You're the one with the bull looking like a nook. Now that's kinda weird but awesome!
Well, unless we’re gonna put a pin in this thread and lock it up after that ridiculous bull, someone needs to lower expectations.
So I’ll get us started
Found some spooky late October spiny rays in central WA.
They liked my V1 spawn tail jig. Next batch I want to bulk up a bit.

When @Wade Rivers takes you out in his boat and puts you on the biggest bull of your life, you get rid of the background

On this
Not this rubbery thing that Mr. Rivers pulled out of the throat of one of his fish (that may have eaten a fly too big to mention)
