A "Yellarhamer"

Although I'm still feeling the effects of a cold, thursday's warm weather forced me to a small stream. Bright sunny skies, with air temps in the 70's felt real good. I had recieved a few flies from Apache Trout which he brought back from his trip to the Smokies, one of them the Yellarhamer is the one I chose to fish. I had dressed the fly with floatant to be able to see its movement with the drift, upon reaching the end of its drift at the tail of the pools it sort of hung there. The first movement of the fly brought a quick response....... Hammer Time.

Its a good fly, and will be fished by this angler often.

I made some chicken sausage with parsley, scallion, and provolone, grilled it and served it with pasta.

Beautiful indeed!
It seems as if brookies were stained by the color of the leaves.

Very beautiful Brookie. Love those Fall colors (& the meal look pretty tasty too) !!! :thumbup:

While we ponder our close season here in the UK, that is certainly food for thought!

"yellarhamer" is a knock out fly ....... ya'll is talking my language now.

Great fly for beautiful little fall trout. I'm going to try it out.

Great post BrkTrout,it is called a Yallerhammer and was originally tied with the feathers from a yellow shafted Flicker which is a woodpecker type bird that is protected now so most folks use bleached and dyed yellow starling feathers wich you can buy from a talented tier and guide named Hugh Hartsell.
