Re: Watching it Snow...
Time well spent! Nice set of tiny flies. Very nice job photographing them too.

Re: Watching it Snow...
Thank you Ray. I appreciate it.
Re: Watching it Snow...
Like virtually all of your flies, Wayne, these look like "catchers". I especially like that red chronomid (sp?) -- the first one. That seems to be a staple on most tailwaters.

Great looking generic tiny's.
The red Chrono could pass muster as a blood worm. All look like trout food and probably a truer facsimile of actual size than most I tie.
Good work.

2 feet of snow and I still went fishing. Got stuck at the River and took me two hours to dig out . This river is notorious for having 10 to 20 lb trout (wild spawn). I had it to myself. Sight fishing, for me, is the best way to catch big fish. Blind casting normally results in small fish. The wind cranked up the second I had my rod rigged up. Sight fishing was out of the question. The wind made it impossible to spot fish when it gusted. It layed down for a few seconds at a time, but not long enough for me to scan the water. I caught a few of these in the 30 minutes I fished. I had to hurry back to the truck as snow started to drift on the road leading out of the river area.
The flies I tyed yesterday did well.
first Brown of the day. About 12 inches

Whoa! The color on those trout is so rich. Do you think this is from the environment, or the food they eat? It may be a combination of the two.
That last photo should be a magazine cover. Perfection.

Although I would copy write the last photograph and sell it to Loop for advertising purposes.

All diet Ray. The fish get a steady supply of mysis shrimp.
