    Yellow Palmers and Cold Brookies

    After recieving Roger Lowe's book Fly Patterns of the Smoky Mountains I tied up a few Yellow Palmers. Armed with these little dry flies I headed to a little piece of water I love. The air temps were in the forties with a stream temp of 42. I tied on the fly and sent it off to drift through a slow moving pool. The fly hung up on a small twig at the surface, part of a larger submerged branch. The fly sat there motionless for a second or two, then the pool exploded and a beautiful wild brookie came to hand.

    The Yellow Palmer worked well that cold day. I can't wait til spring.

    Brookies on dries in December, can't beat that!
    Nice to see those Smoky Mountain flies work well in the Nutmeg State.
    Can't wait to see the results of your next experiment Dr. BRK TRT!
    Keep a tying and keep 'em flying.......

    Brk Trt,
    I wish we had some brookies as beautifully coloured
    as yours.
    Yellow palmer dries did the deed & being self-tied makes the feeling
    so much sweeter.
    Well done.
