I'm with you there. My tippet has been 5x for years, but this year I'm gonna go up a size to 4x and see if there is any difference in my hit per hour ratio...

Gorgeous 'Bow, nice Cuttie too!

Speaking of Crown...my grandfather was an avid sportsman from the Tri-Cities, from whom I eventually developed my love of fly fishing and tying. He would store his reels in the soft Crown Royal bags, a habit I inherited and practice to this day 👑

I don't judge 😉

I completely understand.

The football hit this big meal...

No etiquette issues today...my buddy Jeff and I had the lake to ourselves until 1:30ish. Slow going, but I coaxed two healthy Rainbows to strike along shore. And, I did not feed any eagles today (woot woot!).

Working in tandem...I totally agree. After the one headed off to the other side of the lake, its mate joined it at the water's edge to join in on the feast. I could see their white patches bobbing up and down for some minutes, likely having a chuckle at fleecing me of a full-fledged landing.

It's been a long time since I fished Pass so late, but yesterday's break in the bad weather found me chillin' my toes. Rainbows were still active and feisty, mostly cookie-cutter 16-inchers. Had to keep one eye to the sky as usual, but even so I was robbed in the afternoon. All shots are stills...

Gorgeous

Half the pleasure, if not more, is in the hunt: tying your own flies; observing the surroundings; exploring the world with your flies blind, under the surface.

Chunkies!

That's a bruiser...

Don't drink the water Don't ya eat the ice Just a shot of tequila With a limón slice

No more testing for the year. Lake is back to open now.

Now, that's my kind of report. Nice work (if you can call it that)!

I was wondering about those. Darker in general also. Interesting that WDF plants a lot of Cutthroat in the lake, but I didn't recognize any that I landed. Possibly hybrid? There is am inflow and outflow stream, unsure if they are used for spawning.

Nice Tiger! One day I'll hook into one...

I've been mulling over this 🤔...it occurs to me there may be a correlation between my succes rate and my habit of eating a Landjaeger before I tie on a new fly 😆
