Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2015 Thx boys. The fly was a white clouceiver, with a couple of wraps of flashy dubbing brush for that extra sparkle. she jumped a few times and pulled pretty hard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2015 The fly that did the damage... essentially a half and half (clouceiver) with a flashy collar made using a 2in dubbing brush. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 Okay, you say 45' of water but where did you catch the fish? I've caught fish in 1000' of water in Lake Superior but only 5' down. Did you use a sinking line and tippet to get way down or do they work near the surface? Love to see fish that size jump. I've seen big northern, musky, steelhead, chinook, and sturgeon that were measured in feet and not inches jump and it's a heart stopper. (Fortunately it usually starts again) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
