These two Palominos were both caught on the Neshannock Creek in Western Pennsylvania on another swappers fly and I unfortunately never took note of the toe tag before adding it to my fly box. I beleve the fly came from the midge swap but Im really not sure. Either way this little black slice of love netted me a dozen fish last Saturday including my first and second Palomino trout ever caught. The second fish was between 18 - 20 inches and fought me through 2 sets of rapids, wrapped me around a branch and had my heart pounding out of my chest. If the tyer can lay claim to this fly I owe you a huge thanks for a whole day of fun and being the mark of much creekside envy!

Just received a set of nymphs from the nymph swap. Had a chance to try one out. After about a half hour here is what I caught :D

I posted the photo on the Nymph Swap thread as well along with a description of the fly, when the tyer ids himself I'll post his name here. Photo of the fly will be posted later when it's dried out.

The last picture showed Fred's fly, a conehead, spring crawfish colors. micro bugger (more details in the Micro Bugger Swap thread)

I thought that I had the picture problem sussed, but apparantly not. I'll check it out when I return from work, unfortunately most everything in the external net is blocked here :(. The net is a Brodin, IIRC, with the C&R webbing. I'm a big Z-axis fan...

A 1lb Large Mouth and a 2lb Bluegill on a Clouser Minnow tied by Danfitz's daughter Meg. I missed two bows yesterday using the same Fly.

Using Fishyboys Sea Ducer from the T/B swap, I caught a huge Pike minnow, perhaps 3 pounds.

This fish here was landed on Skoli's Green backed baitfish.
