Very nice. What dubbing are those?These (flies, not Rapala) have caught Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Brook Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat, Coastal Cutthroat and Rainbows over the last few months-View attachment 88829

@SpawnFlyFish Simi Seal.Very nice. What dubbing are those?
I like that Panic Button...I'm going to twist a couple up today...
Nice! How’d the knee feel?yesterday I got out yesterday for the first time since my knee surgery. It was VERY windy and the water was a bit off color but this orange egg caught an absolute pile of whitefish (and a few trout)

My schedule has not allowed for much fishing these days (at least in WA) but at least my flies are catching fish for other people!
That collar color over the olive is tasty looking.View attachment 90662

32F when I parked the truck yesterday, added air to my float tube. The water was 48F Thursday and colder yesterday (no Fishin' Buddy yesterday). I usually move the jig, rarely letting the fly settle but yesterday just letting it hang resulted in more bobber downs than twitchingjiggingshakingmoving.
Man, that is a worthy counterpart to some of the rainbows @G_Smolt has posted with that fly. So cool.View attachment 91450
Was just about to admit defeat with this fleshy thing, too much orange, not enough wiggle, kinda sucks to cast.... 2 days of hard swinging and not a bump.
That changed in a slick spot between two seams, as this bull decided it looked like a perfect breakfast.

On the other end of the line was the largest bull I've ever seen. Fought for about 5 minutes thinking it was a chum, and a big one at that. When it got within 15 ft for the first time I saw the fins and shit my pants. I didnt measure him, my gut says 30ish inches and a little skinny, probably recently done spawning. He was scarred from nets and fights, with a snubbed off kype and spots that faded in the net but turned more and more pink as he revived. I've never been more in awe of a fish than I was of this Bully of the river.
