mustad 2xh/5xl
uni-french 5gr. gold wire
pheasant tail
flashabou/pearl
blend of gold,green and grey brown dubbing
super fly round rubber hackle/micro brown
uni-thread black 6/0.

i look forward to a properly tied variation compared to my special edition blindman series...lol

I dyed some light pheasant tails black it looked pretty good

A SJW is almost always on my line fishing the bow, I typically fish two flys at a time the SJ and whatever, typically I start out with phesant tail or a prince. in most days the SJW will catch most of the fish.

SJW hand down the the best nymph on the Bow(lower). I only really fish the Bow in April and the SJW really outfished everything else 100-1. Funny how the Bow treats everyone different. Some guys i know would never use them...they dont seem to catch anything at all with them. as far as the whitefish go...may only get into a few a year. Ive never fished the bow and not had a SJW on...usually beaded and on the bottom. I've caught Pike, Burbot and even landed a 13lb Bull.

faceless fly fishing...its a huge bull trout caught outa the bow river. mbe pushing 13lbs. look it up on facbook.

The bow never surprises me ive landed a 14 pounder and the same day my buddy landed a 17 pounder (had digital scale),at certain times of the year on that river you have some crazy opportunities to catch large fish that you normally wouldent see in the river (bully's)last year i caught a lake trout below the city weir.now i just need to catch the 4 foot ling i know are swimming around in the bow.nice brown

He's a big fish...after i did the fish math on him and he came out to 17lbs. I like to think I know a few things about fishing so my buddy and I decided to give him 13 lbs and change just to be safe.

thats a massive bull! i seen him down streem by the bridge under the walkway this season. he chased my r.whitefish on the nymph after a little chase h gave up.
