Well got a late start got to the lake at 1pm by the the time i got in the water was 1:30 fish to 5:30 with 12 on landed 9 should have went 11-12 knock two off trying to net them. Biggest was a 22 inch Buck hook jaw played it a long time didn't want to kill it to take photo but manage to take one. All on the top fly this new fly i tied is deadly I am never going to show it. I been to three lakes an it has out perform all of my bottom fly which is a semi seal leech, I think it should get a name I'll call it the Improve Blonde that should keep the SS Flyfishers guessing. That's all folks!!!;);)

Yup... when you get a good one right away, it's usually time to head home, but damned if we don't always get sucked into thinking that early hog is a sign of more good things to come LOL. It's a big part of what makes us anglers....

Nice Lue Those are way better fish than what was going down in east Renton last week.
Any of those pigs go airborn or did they just stay low with the solid tug.

A few did a top water dance before going down had that one in the photo right by launch thought I was stuck in the weeds even put slack in the line thinking it was took about 5 minutes to get in.
