    Yep............

    And for the record.......those saying there was a devastating fish kill are smokin KRAK.

    We caught 20 yesterday and 15 today. Only one over, but lots and lots that were close.

    AND we caught at least 10 or so that were pushing 4lbs.

    Talk about fun..........lots of fly fish, but we're also catching them on tail spinners and jigs.

    Fly early, first light till about 9am and then jigs and spinners till 2 hrs or so before dark, then chase the shade and STICK fish again on the fly.

    Fun.

    Everything im hearing says theyre biting better this year, not as good as 3 years ago, but better than last year. I havent been in a few weeks but the fish we were catching were much healthier than the past few years. Im really glad to see Dale picking back up, it cures what ails those of us with the addiction

    Glad you had a great trip!!!! I was always under the impression that this was a very cold water tactic and did not work very well in warm water. Looks like I need to put the fnf rods in the boat.

    Both equally well.........darker colors and hair in low light.........I like duck feather in bright light. But will also throw it first light and overcast. Just depends on what they want.

    I have some custom natural ones that A guy ties for me. A buddy of mine stumbled on the color, and we've kind of kept it as a trade secret, but the more natural, the better.
