What's Catching You Fish?

This color combo of my ultra basic bucktail/nmf streamer accounted for 90% of my fish yesterday morning.

Needed out so hit the local between classes. Wanted a tug so went go to's, Partridge and Orange, Diving Caddis, and BHGRHE. Like this rod, a lot.

2/3 of the triple, the smallest flipped off on the way into the next. Would have gotten out of the mesh anyway I think.

Took the soft hackles off to avoid the smaller ones and added a straggle stone.

Living water is just good for the soul.

Who else on here, thinks Tom goes to the hatchery to put fish in the net for a photo op…?? 😳😉😂

I don't kid myself. They all got fins, but frankly at this size I can't tell the wild redbands from the plants intended to come back in a few years. Five size classes overall today, so pretty healthy system either way.

@mcswny has his listed in the classified section. I got a new WF6 Peach for mine. Just a pleasure to fish.

Struck again today...sorry, no pic due to ghillie (that's also me) netting fish, bending hook out whilst netting fish, somehow fish getting out of net...first time for everything I guess. Oh well, that tiger was angry enough that I really didn't want to deal with anyway.
