The feedback to my last post from @Hoofer and @Mike Cline helped me tie together a lot of observations, thanks. Headed out today to another stream that closes today that I knew had lots of shucks in the past. I've mentioned before that I've worked out a pat's version that seems to work really well when I see shucks.
As I mentioned I've noted a big black stimulator works well as a dry, and I fished one of the birds of prey I posted.
I really think they are doing their fall fattening up with some stonefly nymphs.
The stimi worked as well.
I fished the bird of prey version @Buzzy liked until I lost it at the very end.
The fish liked it as well, so I think it's a winner.
Lost about a dozen flies last time, only one today, no wind. I do like to fish danger close, and really wanted to feature the two stones here. Eventually a tree reached out to claim it on a back cast.
Thanks for the good help and feedback. I'll say it again, love this place.
