Good one! Do you ever see your photos show up online in ads and stuff without permission?

The "Olive Dairy" midge fooled a trout that sometime before had eaten something with a whole lot more calories that a chironomid:

@Starman77 and I think it is a tiger salamander - something he too has seen in a Basin lake rainbow trout's diet. I'm thinking I need to take a lesson in tiger musky fly tying from @clarkman and see if I can catch BIG trout (The Hunt for Big Fish - just call me Larry).

Did you get a picture of the 22” fish?

These two flies were the most popular today with basin smallies. No giants, but a good number of mediums. They were inhaling the pink & white popper pretty enthusiasticly.
That 4" brush fly also took a trout that did a very passable smallmouth impersonation - I was pretty surprised when I finally got it up to the surface!

This fly caught this fish. I think Wanative will recognize the fly. Thanks! There will always be a couple of them in my fly box.

Hmm, not that I know of. Would be interesting if that happened though.

I’d probably be more flattered than anything.

Caught this fish in a high water pocket

Oliver1329 · May 29, 2022

Caddis was out today! It started raining really hard and because there was caddis in the air, the rain pushed the caddis onto the water and the fish noticed very quickly.
So I put on this caddis that I kinda made up.

Caught me a solid fish. The photo is bad because I took it from a video.
