Beautiful colours.<br />That fly reminded me of an OZ fly called the "B.M.Special". B.M. stands for Bullen Merri, a lake in western Victoria that has a reputation for large trout and, I think, salmon. Both stocked, not natural.<br />On Tuesday I'm hoping to fish a river about an hours drive from where I live that holds brook trout. Originally, they were hatchery escapees and quite large but more recent catches I've seen have been a lot smaller, so it looks like they may have naturally spawned. I hope so. It will be a real buzz to catch one or two. I'll probably try some flashy streamers and the Hornberg. Really like that fly.<br />Kindest Regards,<br />Steve.

They often feed on baby glass minnows which we refer to as " 2 eyes and a wiggle". I would try your pattern with a white thread oversized head and two eye spots added with a black marker. Your mileage may vary.John Dornikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244892643352562421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-14377768596433059862018-10-27T13:16:45.218-04:002018-10-27T13:16:45.218-04:00Mark Kautz

In my experience, streamers are the most productive big trout catchers in streams where are lots of rough fish fry around. This is especially true if there are brown trout in residence, but you document that brookies like a big meal . Bill Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683733092756867663noreply@blogger.com
