Day Two

[sculpin]

Well today was a different day. Like yesterday morning it was raining, so we hit the river at the crack of 9:30am today. Instead of Ospreys and Eagles fighting and a Falcon catching a duck, we saw an pile of Buzzards hanging around on the ground in the field at the boat ramp. Perhaps that was an omen for the day. A cold front is moving through today and fishing was tough for us. I guess that's as good of an excuse as I can come up with. My son lost 2 fish in the first run and I landed this little 22 inch hatchery fish which came home for dinner.



My Son landed the last fish of the day. It kinda matched the fishing today, compared to yesterday.



Actually it was a pretty, blustery Fall day today with the colors in the trees starting to show. It was the kind of day that makes me glad I live here.

It's just a variation of the Otis Bug by Otis Fisher. A very nice man.

Hook-Daiichi 1730 #4 wrapped with .035 lead
Bead- 1/4 Hot Orange by Spirit River
Tail and legs - Olive Juicy Legs by Cascade Crest Tools
Body- copper/black or copper/gold/black chenille
Collar-soft hackle ( not always used)
Shell back- tinsel, mylar, crystal flash. I use all or none at times.

Be careful casting, it's a Daisy Cutter. It works well dead drifted or swung. The locals call it Agent Orange.

Here are a few more variations.

Mark, nevertheless, it sounds like you had a great time over the two days, especially getting together with your boys. Very cool. By the way, nice fly!
