Guest Sundancefisher Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 My new friend... I hope to see her again! Slow stripped a boatman in along the 8 foot depth contour and saw her following... Tried to alter the twitch of the fly which illicited an aggressive move towards the boatman imitation. I then in the light of the evening sun saw her mouth open behind the fly...but then she hesitated and slowed down and drifted off to deep water. I was so excited yet frustrated all at the same time. As a long shot I recast out towards the deep hoping she was just looping out and then back into shore. Then all of a sudden...out of the depths she came again...this time intent on one thing. She swirled hard at the surface and in one fell swoop took the fly down hard. She felt the pull of the line and did not like it one bit. She stormed out to deeper water and made three amazing jumps... Just like an orca at Seaworld she jumped clean out of the water. Soon I had her in. Took quick photos and soon she slapped her tail...splashed me totally and swam out to...hopefully be caught again! Sun Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Sundance, I think that actually IS an orca from sea world. Rainbows don't get that big My gosh!! LOLOL Nice work cheers Quote

Flyfishen Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Nice Rainbow! It must be awesome to fish that lake. Quote
monger Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Love the slope on her back, extra muscle to wrestle with. Hopefully your daughter can hook it before the ice comes. This lake sucks Quote

This lake sucks Incredibly sloped back...talk about a fat, fat hog. She might be a little stumpy...but certainly did not stop her from searching for planes at altitude... Quote

Guest Sundancefisher Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 HAWG!!...What the heck you guy's feedin them things?!?!... Cheers...Jeff.. A friend bonked a 10 inch trout...full of daphnia. Anyone know a great size 30 daphnia pattern? Not sure what the biggies are eating now...except for the odd pattern I throw out there. Quote

Guest Sundancefisher Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Here is a start ....I have a hard enough time tying a pattern on a size 12 hook.... ... The ones in the lake are more clear...and no wheres near as big LOL. Probably 2000 in a drop of water. Quote
bitemyfly Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Have friends at both sundance and bonaventure, both packed full of hungry monsters Quote
Guest Jeremie Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 When i figure this out, i use a booby on a fast sink line or a flash fly. It has to have enough movement or flash to catch the trouts eye. Unless you find a pattern, let me know, but thats my suggestion. Tight lines jeremie Quote
