I wrote a post a few days ago and where it went to is anybody's guess. I am not the most proficient user of anything technical. Well now I shall give it another shot. A recap on that post and what I tried to convey was the fact that I could never be a commercial fly tyer. When I sit down to tie a fly my thoughts are of what that fly is going to do and mean to the angler that actually fishes it. So while I wrap thread and hair and dubbing I am in thought as to how the final product will perform.
A favorite pattern of mine is the Partridge and Orange, it works well all year but it takes on special meaning during the fall season. It's color alone is representative of the season. Well yesterday I took a few of these flies, the Cabela's CGR , and Jeanette and I visited a lake.
The lake visit was more of an early foliage check which I may say was pretty nice. I guess we are about a week or so away from peak.
The time spent fishing the lake gave me a half dozen of these guys. Big time jumpers these smallies.
The surprise was this rainbow. I know there are trout in the lake but I have never caught one this early in the fall season. November is action time here for trout. Both the small mouth and the rainbow were all taken on the Partridge and Orange.
Maybe some Partridge and Yellow, along with Partridge and Red on the next trip.
