I took a break today shifting from whitetail mode to do some fishing.

The stream was in great shape with water temps at 46 degrees.



Please enjoy,




A good breakfast,

I often post stories of fly fishing at a web site I make, imagine that...

Anyway, do not get me wrong, I am amazed at how we all have our own way of doing it.

This one is from, ahh, doesn't matter, most of my fishes come like this.

This story is from grassart.net (http://www.grassart.net)

Nice pictures, you have a great eye.

It doesn't get any better than that. Hunting, breakfast and brookies.

That’s just so sweet. :thumbup: Brookies and those tiny streams are on my to-do list. We’ve had brookies over here in the early 1900’s but they couldn’t survive in the African climate.
I have a banty boo that’s just waiting for the day...one day...

Love it!

Just beautiful! Thank you for posting.
It seems you fished with a streamer.
I wonder how you use a streamer in such small streams. Do you just dead-drift the fly, or do you strip it?

...ahh, Satoshison.

Many ways.

Pitch it in the plunge and short strip it downstream.


Some big flys, say a Bitch Creek with it's rubber, you just pitch it in and watch.


This appeals to their aggressive instinct.



You have fished a wooly booger eh?

One of the top five for mountain trout, river trout too, pond trout, lake trout, a trout trouts fly.

adam. Thank you. Interesting. I will try that next season.


You have fished a wooly booger eh?
Yes. but in a large lake. and I took some nice rainbows with the fly.

adam is right on, in his fishing the streamer.

A streamer with yellow in it will gain the interest of a brookie quickly.

Brk Trt, I saw your streamers (some are salmon flies, I guess) in the "Feathercraft"section.
They are artistic!

Satoshi,

Wooly buggers are a great fly; so many ways to fish them. You can fish them like you would a nymph with weight and an indicator, on the swing like a wet fly, or stripped like a streamer. I'm sure there are more!

Last week I had good luck with a small black woolly bugger fished czech-nymph style in a deep foamy pool below a waterfall on a small stream.
