When I head out to fish I like to have a game plan, and if you recall I've been on a mission to catch a whitefish.
Went out to play somewhere in this drainage today.
And I took the Echo carbon xl ESN rod. I'm getting used to just spinning the reel spool on the base model reel to bring in loose line. Neat.
I played with these 4 flies
The stimulator variant I posted in the vice worked up top
The tungsten taco I posted worked in the middle as well, good general color but I don't think the best for today,
the pat's worked swapped for the egg
but as always the hares ear on point is the best fly
that same hares ear was also responsible for this, my first short fin grayling ever, and another a touch smaller two casts later.
I noted a few things when I finally got one. A very satisfying quest, I don't know why people don't care for them.
