  1. Actually found a youtube video that makes a fly that to me looks quite similar... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LnmxTbEoYw
  2. Yeah...I'm not going quite that large. Although the Browns have run over 20lbs where we are going.
  3. I couldn't find a pic of it other than in the mouth of that Brown. It is articulated and I think the fish is actually hooked by the one in it's mouth. There is a pic of a similar fly on the same website that shows 2 hooks being used. I hope to hear back from the web site, but if not, I am just going to take a crack at it and see what happens. As has been mentioned, it isn't anything really special.
  4. I did send them an email, but have not heard back.
  5. Pretty basic, but I was curious to know what it is called. On his web site he refers to is as "Old Mexico", but I find no reference to that name anywhere else. Thanks
  6. Yeah...I know it is going to take a lot of effort and will probably only be a worthwhile effort in spring and fall. I like to fish, even whe I am not catching anything, so I don't mind giving it a go. the ice will be off the lake in another 6-8 weeks, then we will see what happens. I have seen some 24"+ fish taken out of there, but they were trolling gear. I will definitely be giving it all I've got this spring.
  7. Sullivan Lake in NE WA. The record was from back in 1965. My uncle went scuba diving in there back in the 70's and said the fish were so big that it scared the hell out of him. A friend of my dad fished it 20 some years ago and caught only a very small fish (on a fly). He decided to troll it, and a nice sized brown hit it. When he reeled in the fish a monster came up and slammed the "bait". He only brought in half a fish. I don't know if the fishing is like that any more, but I would like to try it out! I have not seen anyone fly fish it besides my dad and I, and very few fisherman trolling it either. With the depth, I would like to think that there has to be some giants hiding in there, just surviving and waiting for me to fool them.
  8. I have been doing some reading on Loch Style - makes total sense, and I am going to give it a try this year.
  9. here's an image of the one end of the lake with a small creek entering. You can see from the elevation lines of the bank and the lake how steep the bank is and how quickly the water depth drops off.
  10. Thanks Piker20. I will do some more scouting on the lake and see if I can locate any feeder streams. We will be in a boat, as the edge of the lake is very steep and heavily wooded, so we should be able to comb the edges easily. Do you guys fish for them in the spring much or only in the fall?
  11. I would like to try and target Browns in a local lake, and would like some suggestions on Fly Patterns. These are not Lake Run...they are resident in the lake. This lake is DEEP...like 300ft in some places, with a rocky/gravel bottom (where it can be seen) very cold water and not much aquatic vegetation. I have been trying streamers and other wets, fished on a sinking line. I know there are some big ones in there, since the state record came out of there many years ago, at 22 lbs and the record still stands. I am sure that was trolled with gear though. The lake is does not get much fishing pressure, but I have not been able to connect with a Brown yet. Any help would be appreciated.
