SteveM Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Got out to a pond today; got a bunch of 'bows, from 15-18". Most on chronnies, a couple on a plain red hook(bloodworm?), even got some on the dry. Seems like you just gotta keep switching up; put on something different, land a few fish, it stops working, switch again... Had a few real HOT ones that screamed off line, running & jumping like crazy; so much fun on my little 6ft 2wt!!! Some pics: On the dry... Computer enhanced... 'Twas a fun day!!! Later, Steve Quote

I stuck a couple in my nymph box last year; it was probably on FFC(but not sure) where I read about someone catching trout on 'em. I find I have my best luck at this pond when I do a lot of fly switching; I looked in my box & figgered ,"Why not?" Like many things I tried, for a few minutes it seemed like the magic hook; then it went cold... I'll try it again, next time. Later, Steve Quote

Hawgstoppah Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I use bare gamagatzu's for bloodworms all the time (size 16-20) they are deadly. Nice piggies! Quote
