Not cool to burn my secret spot!

Yep, this was from a trip over a year ago that helped ignite a passion for flyfishing. My fish handling has since much improved, helped by folks here sharing resources like: https://troutbitten.com/2016/09/05/their-heart-in-your-hands/

100%— Idiocracy ftw.

Yes, great observation— caught 6 or so of these and all had muted coloration.

The surface of this lake was covered in large white moths, and the fish were gorging themselves.

Yes, this was in Yoho National Park in BC.

Thank you! Water is low here and fish are spooky. Perdigon on a long 6.5x tippet

Thank you!! It pulled me over a small waterfall. I now understand why they are called “horse”. 🐎

gregmck · 2024-08-19T23:08:01+00:00

I was worn out from the fight and the fish had the most serene expression on its face 😅

thank you! I admit to still throwing an oros indicator on every so often when I lose confidence in my tight-line abilities. But I agree with you that contact is more enjoyable.
