Fergal Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 As I start my freshwater/trout career I haven't come up with a method to mark flies so I can id them by weight. In the first photo, the 20"ers were all tied a little differently (2nd row from the bottom, L side of the x-ray), a quick x-ray shows me what it is what. I thought others might find it interesting.

PhillyPhisher Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Fish are starting to key in on the big bugs. Today was a fun day. Fish aren’t up against the banks yet so it was bombing long casts into fast water. In a few days they will be stacked up behind overhanging trees picking off bugs as the fall.

jalthoff Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Played hooky with my mini me today, tried to get him his 1st striper on the fly. No luck in that quest, but he cast well in the wind and he got some schoolies on the spinning rod so all good!

The Graveyard Shift Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Bass on bucktail game changers. Was out of water about 30second. Spot has a nasty drop off so I always unhook fish back from edge in grass. I fell off once and dont plan on it happening again bloosfisher, KidDkivahh, Seadogg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbey Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Awesome! I've had some incredible times in Montana and Yellowstone chasing salmon fly eating trout. It was always hit or miss, but when I hit it right, it was just plane sick fishing. Keep sharing your pictures please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
