Seriously, what does this have to do with trout fishing on the Deschutes...or was this just a drive-by troll post (that's the direction I'm leaning).

Great fishing report, Phil! Next time I want some snake pics....maybe some macro tick pics!

I'd like to meet one of these "fishy" fellas....I could use some help. Legless, eh? That woulda been a fun snake hunting hike if I woulda gone.

not much of a hunter, nor will I ever be (mostly because it would cut too much into my fishing time), but that's pretty ridiculous.

Articulated, counterbalanced, color scheme from a couple years ago ...oh yeah!

your hook set seems on point....appears to have separated that premaxilla right from the maxilla! :LOL:

damn, finally! I was about to have a friend up there go grab it for me so I had a backup. Whoever grabbed that, it going to be pretty damn happy!

I've gotta say, I'm really diggin' all of these streamers coming off of your vise lately! You're finally succumbing to the darkside...

That would be fun... Honestly though my largest was a bit over the 2' mark, but sleek, so probably right around that 4-5lb range. Definitely not a fat slob hanging out under a dam getting fat. Didn't fight like it either...

speaking of...(weird lead in, I know)...I did just order some tails from a new vendor recommended by a local guy who as been chasing those critters for several years. We'll see if they come close to comparing to my current favorite vendor. Who knows? they may be better....but maybe not.

I don't tie many doubles for any kind of fish, but decided to change it up for this little smallie fly. Kinda similar to my basic style of tiger musky fly, just smaller....and with a back hook instead of a shank....so I guess, not really similar at all! It's smaller than it looks at only about...

looks like a Skwala to me! I don't see many down on the Deschutes, but fish seem to like them enough.

I've gotten so used to that with almost all of my fishing that it takes me a bit while dry fly fishing for trout to keep my tip out of the water! between that and strip setting on the euro rod... 🤦‍♂️

probably good sturgeon bait too! although I've never tried.

I have no clue, but my 10wt was corked....it had me fooled for a little longer than usual though cause I didn't see that take and everything about it screamed musky!

Honestly, they are pretty underwhelming on the fighting scale, but they DO attack streamers far above their weight class at times, often visual which is pretty cool. Plus, no one seems to give this native fish an ounce of respect, so naturally, I'm drawn to them....😆
