The fly in the last brookies mouth is a variation of the Neversink Skater.

This helps when sneaking up on shy brookies!<br />I did notice the fly hooked to your rod and next to your hat. It's a Salars Nemesis! Did you try it? It looks wonderful from here! <br />The Grouse and Yellow looks good too anchored in the scissors of that beautiful brookie! Your patterns are beautiful to us and killers to trout! The last pattern shown looks like a Stewart Spider with really long, speckled hackles! I'm sure it has a name! Please share it with me(us)! <br />DougDougsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800383538251413175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-71144132825764974202018-01-23T17:58:56.251-05:002018-01-23T17:58:56.251-05:00Hats and Brookies are critical.... carry on....

Has been a smallmouth factory before but heavy blow-outs during spawning 3 years in a row put a serious dent into population and calmed the fishing. For the locals in the know, the fishing on the fly has re-emerged though --- shhh --- we're not telling anyone "they're back." Going to try some slow passes with Spade flies tied in normal early season crawfish patterns swung low in the edgy slackwater holding grounds over ledges, cobble, and and beside serious structure. Might get one. Pictures if I do. New gear. New flies. That's never been a problem, has it?spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837056589969480640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-52120561179620878872018-01-23T07:56:46.106-05:002018-01-23T07:56:46.106-05:00spike
