A Cloudy Fall Day In The Park

The mountains beckoned...

 

I tossed a few flies in McDonald Creek but nothin' was doin' so we just drove around and took some pictures.

I got some good pics but the clouds rolled in. At least it didn't rain on our parade! The drive home was beautiful as always.

I'm going to continue trying to get out in search of Grayling and some cutties from the kayak but only if the weather holds up.

Fall Fly Tying

For the last week I've done little more than tie flies, mostly zebra midges. I got a bunch of thread and a few hundred hooks and put 'em up on eBay. If anyone is interested go to eBay, search zebra midge, and look for the flies with the same background as these pics! I accept custom orders too...

I'm going to move my tying desk into the living room this winter and tie up a few hundred stimulator, caddis, royal wulff, para adams, hopper, ant, and misc nymph patterns for next summer.

 Here are some patterns I'm working on perfecting!

Trip Report: Brookies and Browns

Today I hooked into the biggest brookie I've ever caught!

This football of a brookie came out of a deep pool. I had a nice brown strike on the previous cast so when this guy hit I believed I was pulling in a brown.

 

After a few hours of fishing I pulled in around a dozen decent browns and a few more brookies. I hope to get back out over the next few weeks. Hopefully I'll make an appearance at a grayling filled lake tomorrow!
