What's Catching You Fish?

[Kfish]

Fished with @jasmillo this morning, blanked out first lake. Went to a more sheltered piece of water and tied on this sorta random Carey special type fly. Turned out to be The One.

Literally each of these in tan and in various sizes

Caught plenty of these in Cayo Coco/Cayo Paredon Cuba. Just walked in the door after an epic Bonefish adventure, Wife and I landed more than we would have ever expected.

Material list for first one?

 

[Squatchin]

@Billy

VMC Texas worm hook, 1/0
2 pink beads with a drop of UV for a stopper
Black SF blend
Chartreuse SF blend
Pink SF blend
Grizzly hackle

Its about 6inches long but sheds water really quick so it casts well enough on an 8wt with a sink tip line.

Caught a few of these:

Wait a minute, I saw this fish last night. I went to the Perin, Hughes, Hafele and Richmond talk with Chris last night

The hare's ear softhackle I posted in the caddis thread works. Fished as a caddis riding an egg along the bottom?

I've been kinda quiet but a recent posting had the river packed today so I'll show the hatchery hen my wife asked me to get after seeing the post.

Ha! He's the good brother...

I heard it was a good presentation. Did you pick up any secret spots or tips you can share?

Good looking trout

This past Thursday @Lakedude put on a clinic fishing a #16 ice cream cone and the same size peacock herl ice cream cone - I tied some up and added a couple of dyed red peacock herl bodied flies in size 13 and 15. Both the smaller natural colored ICC and the dyed red bigger one resulted in takedowns and a couple caught fish.

When freshly tied, the herl looks bulky - not so much when wetted.




Show me your herl.



The wind picked up from a nice chironomid chop to whitecaps pretty much ending my chironomid fishing so I loop knotted on a jigged vampire leech and let the strong wind swing the rigging. Oh yeah!

A quick 2 day trip to introduce my hubby to the Basin. Mostly pretty slow - and still too cold for bass - but a well known lake gave up a couple of Lahontans: an unpictured 18"ish, and this chubby 24". What takes a chunk out of a two foot fish??
Both on this simple marabou jig leech (I think this one had a marabou dubbing loop collar)

Gillnet?
