Beautiful Fall day, cool night warm days and a few fish moving.
Yes Jason, Steve picked up this 26" salmon on a # 14 sparse tied hair fly, lost another and caught a 14 inch trout. Lika lost a salmon. The fly doesn't really have a name and it's hard to convince other fishermen that you can hold a large salmon on a small fly and lite tippet. I tied it for low slow water using 5-6# test tippet and over the last few years have taken a number of fish in late summer and throughout the Fall including a 34 inch salmon. When using this fly you should have a pair of needle nose pliers or forceps handy as the fish seem to take the fly deeper in their mouth. A #10 or #12 modified "shady lady" is still working, the modified version has a tendency to sink below the surface where the bug style rides on top with a larger wake.
Steve introduced his new Toyota truck to our deer population last year, the truck lost, so as we drive by the same area and he is reminding me of the incident today, three deer jump out in front of his truck, mind you when you are so paranoid that you now only drive on our roads at 5 km/hr there is not much likelyhood of too severe an incident :)
