The black flashabou is called "Holographic", and I REALLY like it.
Shaq nice shot, I'm headed there sunday(river) and monday(dsr)....for a bach party....mine :Eyecrazy: , and will be around the island(below spring hole) and the meadow. 12' two-hander. If you see me or the clan stop by and say hi. Should be a group of fun loving fly caster!!!
Can't make it this week. Heading out to Montana for a week. We will definitely have to meet up and do some fishing this fall, however. Keep in touch and keep those pictures coming!
you'll be fine with the size of fly. Was up again on Saturday and in the lower river the #2 and #4 were good, in the upper river I switched to smaller #6 and 8 "Duller" more traditional speys and was getting the hits. The crowds are beginning to fill up the named pools and puch us Long rod guys out. We need some real estate.
Went 0 for 7 or 8 and my buddy did about that as well.
Peter, I try to swing-step-swing-step when we have the room or if there are stationary guys in the pool, I try and position myself over the best available water. It's hard to get a rotation going in some spots because of the overall mentality up there. Good luck to all, it's going to be a few more weeks for me.
