Default A weekend in the hills

Beauty weekend to be chucking nymphs. By mid afternoon they wanted some dries to. The cuts were big and worth the 10 hours of traversing the river.

Cutties always look their finest when there’s some yellow colour in the background! Well done!

Default Thanks for the post

I'm just nostalgic I guess, but I'd like to see the flies in the pictures. Thanks for the pictures.

Densa, wanna play a guessing game. 2 of these patterns were on fire, which 2 do you think? These are all hand tied by myself.

Everyone, thanks for the comments. I love fly fishing in the fall.

I see trout bling bling

Great selection, this coming from me, a fella who relies on his sons collection every outing

Fall is a great time of the year.

Was out on the weekend drifted a few nymphs no action. About 11:00 am it kinda clouded over, a bit of a hatch started, the fish woke up, switched to a #14 BWO and then it was one cuttie after the other for about 3 hours..

Most people I show this box to, say it looks like candy. I tell them it is, Trout Candy!

Kind of had the same thing happen to me, with out the clouds. It clouded/hazed up between 10 and noon. The cuts wanted nymphs. Just after noon, I was sitting on the bank having a sandwich and I seen a trout nose come up. I put on a #14 elk hair caddis, casted to the rise and BAM fish on.
